3. Don't have the time to go through the whole thing, but let me take a gander.
A Democracy is a form of government where majority rules.

But the United States added an extra protection for minorities and/or individuals, which technically, makes it something else, than a pure Democracy.

Republicans like to say that we are not a Democracy, but a Republic. Now, I know they use that to support their position of State's Rights, but is it also possible that the rules of a Republic, are also the same ones that protect the rights of the individuals and ergo, minorities?

That video could really use some editing. It sounds like it has something important to say, so it should just get to the point quickly and say it.
