Political Spectrum

Posted on 21 January 2010 by admin

“The best principles of our republic secure to all its citizens a perfect equality of rights.”

“All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.”
— Thomas Jefferson

“Government is the great fiction through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.”
— Frederic Bastiat

Is the United States an oligarchy, democracy, monarchy or republic? You many be surprised at the answer. The short, 3 part series below explains the basic forms of government and why our founding fathers chose our particular form of government. This video also breaks the idea of the modern ‘left and right’ political spectrum, which places ‘liberals’ on the left and ‘conservatives’ on the right. Instead, it shows the proper way to look at a true political spectrum. It also takes a brief walk through history and shows which political and economic structures have proven to be the most liberating and productive for society.
