“My favorite part is when you explain how even the non-democratic monarchical tradition of the West was democratic. Really. My compliments, even an 11 year old wouldn’t have been able to pull that off.”
Are you claiming that American political thought bore no debt to England, or that England did not have an elected Parliament at the time of the Revolutionary War? If so, then most 11 year olds have more historical knowledge than you do. Your junior high school sarcasm only further proves what an immature ignoramus you are.
Here is a link to the above, straight from the “horse’s mouth”, so to speak:

Note especailly this statement: “The Bill of Rights was agreed in 1689. This established Parliament’s authority over the monarch: Parliament would be responsible for passing or repealing all laws.”
