Rebecca Rupley April 19, 2012 “No courts. No justice. No freedom.” The United States’ government is a constitutional democracy. This means that the nation is subjugated under the will of its people, so long as it is in accordance with the U.S. Constitution.

In regards to the economy the role of gender should not apply, but it usually does though not usually through intentional discrimination.
