Quoting the Founders: Websters 1828 Dictoinary

Oligarchy
n. G.
A form of government in which the supreme power is place in a few hands; a species of aristocracy.

Tyranny
n. Fr.
Cruel government or discipline; as the tyranny of a master.

Monarchy
n. Gr.
A state or government in which the supreme power is lodged in the hands of a single person.

[Communism began in the 1840s so Websters 1828 Dictionary does not have a definition]

Democracy
n. G.
Government by the people; a form of government, in which the supreme power is lodged in the hands of the people colectively, or in which the people exercise the powers of legislation. Such was the government of Athens.

Republic
n. L.
A common wealth; a state in which the exercise of the sovereign power is lodged in represenatives elected by the people.

Think about it.
Is America a Democracy or a Republic?

A Little Woman

“It was a cheerful, hopeful letter, full of … fatherly love …’I know… that they will be loving children to you, will do their duty faithfully, fight their bosom enemies bravely, and conquer themselves so beautifully that when I come back to them I may be fonder and prouder than ever of my little women.’” Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

I am thirteen years old living in a Christian Homeschooling family with my Mother, my father, my sister Hanna (9) and my brother Spencer (10).

We are currently going through the adoption process, hoping to adopt an infant from somewhere in the United States, praying and trusting God that he has the right child/children for our family.
