Our Democratic Republic is based on a Constitution that is the law of the land period . We elect representatives from among the citizenry to carry out and work within the confines of our constitution , we have a general citizenry who agree to live according to the law of the land and support our civil workers through taxation then we have a judicial, legislative, executive, warrior and law enforcement class from within the citizenry to protect, serve and uphold the law of the land .. It takes daily maintenance and conscious input from each citizen to reap freedom from the bottom up, not free from reasonable responsibility for each to respect and contribute . We need to drain the swamp ..
