You’re right, the way the US constitution is set up means you’re citizens. We here in the UK have no written constitutionand as such are ’subjects’. Your political set up is, on the face of it more democratic than the UK. ie decisions ratified by a 2;1 majority by Supreme Court, Congress, Presidents Office etc.
However, it seems corruption, and election rigging is the cancer infecting a political process that when inaugurated was noble and bold.
Tsunami relief; Bush initially promised $1 million, Blair a similar amount (bearing in mind this is our money anyway, from taxes) When public donations dwarfed these figures they were shamed into upping the money.
