Depending on timeframe. 1820's the constitution wasnt amended to what it became 1880's. So much of what you say- didnt come by standing fast with the constitution- but to challenge that it needed to be amended. Amendment 4,5,6 etc.

It is an everchanging document based on the culture of the people. As stated at one time the (mob rule) as you stated felt that there needed to be a 3/5th rule for those who were considered slaves.

Another time it wasnt amended to allow women to vote.

Also you accurately stated: In a Constitutional Republic, which we in the United States have elected representatives vote on most issues

Such as the issues relating to the Federal Coummunication Commisision , we don't vote. SO no mob rule there. Executive orders which should have been or at least could have been done away with after Lincoln, but it seems these orders are only welcomed by partisanship. Nothing Democratic about that.

But I admit I am not sure of how you've structured the last two paragraphs-
The Democratic system of government
In a Constitutional Republic,

1st paragraph I gather you are defining who votes
2nd paragraph I gather you are defining who is elected by way of those votes.

So I am not sure how to relate those two as you begin it with : HOWEVER. I am expecting a comparison to come, rather I see two different subjects that dont fit (however).

Ending example when you state: The Constitution protects land , rights...
See to me that depends on the era- generation as Henry Berry stated the Constitution should protect property- to which he argued that slaves were property- He was so effective at arguing it- that the constitution upheld his argument in the Senate.
Those who disagreed, were called evil. By title these evil doers seeking to do away with the constitution because they were for abolition.
Abolishing slavery which produced a great American product: a slave.

So the constitution or the Articles of Confederation. both documents that don't seem to prove or disprove that when one votes- regardless of the piece of paper that rules their thinking- is as you stated: A democratic thing. I just wanted to make sure it wasnt going to change to a Republican thing. Rather a Republic, that practices a Democracy (voting process 1 per person).
