Two things that Voge got wrong...
...plant the seeds for American democracy.
We're a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy. America has democratic elements.
Christ was about liberty, the rule of law, consent of the governed and majority rule. Sovereignty came from God.
Again we're not a democracy which is all a democracy is.
If majority rule were the precept to be followed we would all be worshiping Moloch, Baal or some other false god.

One would have to ask in today's world, is the form of government enjoyed by Americans a Constitutional Republic? The possibility that the Republic died long ago is not remote (imho).
