However, to date, all ratified amendments have been proposed by Congress without the need for a national constitutional convention.

The most important difference between a republic and a democracy is that "Republics, and not democracies, elect people to represent the citizens." In a republic, citizens elect representatives who make decisions on their behalf, while in a pure direct democracy, citizens directly participate in decision-making through popular vote on laws and policies. The distinction lies in the manner of governance and the role of elected representatives in the decision-making process.

Alexis de Tocqueville wrote about the “tyranny of the majority.” Explain the danger of majority rule?
Alexis de Tocqueville, in his work "Democracy in America," discussed the concept of the "tyranny of the majority." This refers to the potential danger of majority rule in a democratic society. While democracy promotes the idea of governance by the majority and the protection of individual rights, Tocqueville argued that there are risks associated with unchecked majority power.
The danger lies in the potential for the majority to use its power to oppress or marginalize minority groups or individuals who hold differing opinions or characteristics. In a purely majoritarian system, without proper safeguards or respect for individual rights, the majority may impose its will on others, limiting freedom, and disregarding the rights and needs of minority groups.
Tocqueville emphasized that majority tyranny can stifle dissenting voices, discourage diverse perspectives, and lead to conformity and the suppression of individual liberties. This danger highlights the importance of constitutional protections, rule of law, checks and balances, and institutions that safeguard individual rights and prevent the majority from running roughshod over the rights of the minority.
In summary, the danger of majority rule or tyranny of the majority is the risk that the majority could abuse its power and oppress minority groups, potentially leading to the violation of individual rights and freedoms.
In this unit, you have learned about many of the principles on which our government is based. Explain how the principles of checks and balances, separation of powers, and judicial review are all examples of limited government. Evaluate their importance to the American way of life.
The principles of checks and balances, separation of powers, and judicial review are all examples of limited government, which is a fundamental concept in the American system of governance.
Checks and balances refer to the distribution and overlapping of powers among the three branches of government—legislative, executive, and judicial. Each branch has specific authorities and responsibilities that act as checks on the others, ensuring that no single branch becomes too powerful. This system of checks and balances prevents any one branch from dominating and establishes a form of limited government by preventing the abuse of power.
The principle of separation of powers further contributes to limited government. It involves dividing governmental powers among different branches, as mentioned earlier. By separating powers, the framers of the Constitution intended to prevent the accumulation of too much power in the hands of a single entity. This helps maintain a system of shared authority and prevents authoritarian rule.
Judicial review is the power of the courts, particularly the Supreme Court, to interpret the constitutionality of laws and actions taken by the government. It allows the judiciary to review and strike down laws or actions that are deemed unconstitutional. Judicial review plays a crucial role in limiting government power by ensuring that laws and governmental actions adhere to the principles and provisions laid out in the Constitution.
These principles are of utmost importance in the American way of life as they ensure a system of limited government, which is designed to protect individual rights, promote liberty, and prevent the concentration of power. They provide a system of checks and balances that prevent any one branch from becoming authoritarian or infringing upon the rights of citizens. These principles also foster accountability, transparency, and fairness in government operations.
By upholding and respecting these principles, the United States maintains a governance structure that fosters the rule of law, protects constitutional rights, and safeguards the freedoms and liberties that are central to the American way of life. They promote a system of governance that is responsive to the needs of the people and restrains the potential for abuses of power by those in authority.
