Leaders in America?

As I see our Government officials, they are nothing more then a representative of the people that elect them to their JOB.

America has no leaders as per say, from the President of the United States to the local city counsel. All are elected to be our representatives and voice, nothing more. We Americans do not have leaders above us. Nowhere in our Constitution or Bill of Rights do we have, appoint, elect, leaders, but rather we appoint representatives who must speak on the behalf of those that elect them.

Other countries have leaders, many of whom are not elected to an office but rather assume this roll by Bloodline, or through Military coups. Leaders are assumed to be totally in charge of everyone under them. They make rules, and laws for governing their nation, citizens, and/or tribes. Many times leaders of other countries must be deposed by a dissenting party or disgruntled want to be leader. Which some times ends in a blood bath coup, or the leader just passing away from an unknown illness.

A leader tend to believe that what they choose is what the People under them need as apposed to letting the people decide for their selves. A leader will almost always choose governing of the masses by assuming that only they themselves have the knowledge and foresight to know the needs of the peoples. In many nations of the world the people just go along with what they are told is for their own good sense a leading body has decided for them.

Little input from the citizenry on issues that affect them is almost never sought. Most times a law is passed without the peoples even having fore knowledge of it. They wake up in the morning only to find that they are lawbreakers sometimes when they were not the night before.

In America the way our system is made, allows the people to decide for them self’s rather then just assume someone else should do it for us. No person in America is above or below anyone else. According to our Constitution and Bill of Rights all are equal in standing with every one else. America does not recognize, bestow, or appoint Royalty upon anyone. We do not recognize absolute power of a person, and/or a governing body.

All power of Government is granted by the people, to the elected to act on our behalf, as we demand by majority vote. Nothing in our structure allows for a leader who can speak for us based on his or her beliefs as to what we should want. America was designed as a truly leaderless nation. An elected official such as Nancy Pelosi from San commiecisco can only speak for the constituents who elected her to office and not the rest of the nation. In perspective, President Bush can only speak for the people who elected him to office and they both must follow the demands of the electric.

All power and authority reverts back to the people as a whole, as is in the laws of the Constitution. The Constitution was written as rules to govern the jobs of our elected.
