  • Awesome video.. what is a open society?

  • thank you so much i just started school working towards my law degree and thank you so much for making this clear to me. Please let me know if you have more educational videos.

  • Democracy by itself would devolve into oligarchy. A Republic by itself would never be able to change laws. If the world were Republic since 1 A.D. we would still be stoning children for disobeying their parents. The law says so!

    The truth is that Democracy by itself is--as Plato said--people doing whatever they want. A Republic by itself is frozen still--the laws are set in stone. But a Democratic Republic is a system by which the law can change--only very slowly and only by enough people.

  • great vid, I really did think America was a democracy. I think everyone in America should see this.

  • wow... genius... I´m dumbstruck as to the simplicity of this vid.

    Powerful in its simplicity. Thanks for this
