III. A 2011 Smmary of the U.S. Democracy

The failures of the first world democracy of the USA are numerous.  In this blog, I will identify some of these failures so that other democracies can avoid them.

I believe that some democracies in the Middle East might follow the U.S. failure because Iraq made a constitutional law, which identifies Locke's Government but made no law, which identifies Locke's Society. (click) Today, Locke's Government is called the 'public sector.' And Locke's Society is called the 'private sector.' Thus, to build Locke's social contract theory into a democracy, two laws must be developed so that the public and private sectors are related functionally and work together.

A democracy becomes functional only if scientific and moral  laws are defined by the public sector (Government) and the private sector (Society).  The U.S, Congress has never developed these two laws because the U.S. lawyers limited the Declaration of Independence (DOI) to a war authority. Yet, in the DOI, the colonists identified these two laws with the following phrase: 'Laws of Nature and Nature's God.'  The Laws of Nature and the Laws of Nature's God are the laws of Intelligent Design of an active God.

If the Laws of Nature and Nature's God are not defining an active God and His universe, a democracy will develop arbitrary scientific laws and arbitrary human rights. Arbitrary science and arbitrary rights are signs of a failed democracy.  The USA has never built a democracy because its people turned their mind either to atheism or to an inactive God and never turned their minds to an active God.
