When actions of the state are unconstitutional, the people have the duty to resist. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

When the president’s actions are unconstitutional, the people have a right to resist, and when a dictatorship becomes a reality, the people are obligated to rise up. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

The biggest flaw in the US form of democracy is the costs involved in election campaigning, and the US must carry out comprehensive constitutional reform to correct this defect. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.
