I suppose if we had an election, Demo Rep would favor repealing the First Amendment if 50% plus one voted that way. An economic passion-- the protective tariff-- was the main cause of the War of Northern Aggression. I hope you'll join in the discussion more on this site, #4, as lots of pro-NPV stuff is posted here. #4: Demo Rep is one of those who considers the voice of the majority to be the Voice of God.

What is remarkable is, even considering the American Civil War, how relatively peaceful, stable, prosperous, and free this nation has been over the course of 220 years. The Civil War happened when political passions overcame the healthy incentives of the Electoral College. There is nothing magical about 50% plus 1, Demo Rep.
