Regime in any society is a difficult thing. The nation's sense of self and that markedly "American " character is pretty much interwoven with the powerful statements in these documents. For one thing, American citizens have a natural sense of their own rights and their capability to function separate from presidency. As such, state is rarely outside the imperative inspection of the individuals that it rules. While this appears absolutely normal to the voters of this country, it is rare traditionally where presidency ruled with virtual unmitigated authority and the people were subservient to their leaders. To an American, the ones they opt to serve work for the general public.

And if they forget that or seem to be trying to gather more power than they are allowed, it is not long before the management of the country is replaced. This ability of the people to peaceably "throw the bums out " has kept executive in control and continually on edge for 2 centuries. The Declaration of Independence would need to be considered a foundation of how our system of regime works because with autonomy from Britain , that document made a spirit of autonomy and pride in the North American psyche that has affected nearly every side of both private and non-private life. When America announced itself independent from Britain , it decisively entrenched into the soul of each American to never be reliant on any other country, govt or ruler ever again.

To an interloper, the unfriendly devotion to liberty and self resolution that's so awfully entrenched in American culture appears bizarre. But that fundamental conviction that we're a free folk, of not only tyranny from without but freed from oppression from inside as well is affecting all aspects of American life. That sense of self will and self awareness is what makes American music, pictures, cultural life and art to exciting and addictive around the planet. There had been something buried in that bold announcement to the royalty of Britain that we might be an independent and free folks that modified the character of America forever. We didn't just break away to be adrift from our point of origin, in this example the UK. Rather when we announced liberty, it wasn't just liberty FROM oppression and the dominance of executive, it was liberty TO distinction that rose up out of the people, not from a govt that was the keeper of the people. The Declaration of Independence accomplished it's short term objective of changing the culture of what was taking place on the North American mainland from a bold act of colonization into an even bolder building of a new country. But accomplished much more by putting a grit in the heart and soul of each American to never again be subjects of a presidency. Instead state in this new country would forever be the topic of the people, their servant and responsible to them.

So USA citizens keep their presidency on a short leash, not the other way around. This is a new concept and one which has been working well for over 2 hundred years turning into the envy of states all round the world.
