We just heard over the news that Caliornia's supreme court has ruled that the popular vote to pass California's Proposition 8 is unconstitutional. This brings up an interesting question. We are NOT a democracy. We are a representative government. A democracy requires rules by popular vote. However, we are also bound by the constitution.
If, the people vote on something like Gay marriage, then the courts over-rule it...which is considered more valid. The courts or the people's views?
