Elroy, this is not an attack, but it sounds like you personally need a Ruler, King or Monarch in order to live a life free from the daunting task of making societal decisions that affect your world. Iow, it sounds like you are perfectly happy to live by a set of rules designed by others, and with no personal input.

That is not how it works in America.

As always happens in life, problems constantly arise and it is up to the people, through their representatives, to convey their ideas as to how to solve them. When a rule (law) does not work, and the public wishes to change it, and using your example.........as to whether women shall vote or not........they (have the "right" to) collectively change it. A person may not agree, but democracy says the majority opinion shall be the opinion that rules.

No one has said it is perfect, and it is often complicated and leads to other problems..........such as interpretation........but our Constitution is the guide.
