In about half the world--mostly those where people live under socialism, communism, dictators, or autocracies--law and order is decided for the people. In the 1700's, when the brand new United States of America, newly liberated from the British aristocratic rule that relied on Kings and Queens, wrote its very first
Constitution and Bill of Rights, it decided to establish a system of government by the people. Called 'the Grand Experiment', the founders empowered ordinary citizens--such as farmers, shopkeepers, laborers, and seamstresses--to elect the individuals who would protect America's shores, our freedoms, and our way of life. Over two hundred years after that mandate, it is still unclear whether it will work. In the 1850's, Abraham Lincoln
warned: “Elections belong to the people. It's their decision. If they decide to turn their back on the fire and burn their behinds, then they will just have to sit on their blisters.”
