representative republic.What's the difference -- and which one is the US?
For once, RGS is right.What's the difference -- and which one is the US?
A Democratic Republic is a form of Democracy. We elected people to represent us in Government. The US is a Democratic Republic.
A pure Democracy would not work. That would mean on every decision the Government would have to hold an election with EVERYONE voting on it.

Democracy
A government of the masses. Authority is derived through mass meeting or any other form of direct expression. Results in mobocracy. Attitude toward property is communistic, negating property rights. Attitude toward law is that the will of the people shall regulate, whether it be based upon deliberation, or governed by passion, prejudice, and impulse, without restraint or regard to consequences. Results in demagoguery , license, agitation, discontent, and anarch.

Republic
Authority is derived through election by the people of public officials best fitted to represent them. Attitude toward property is respect for laws and individual rights, and a sensible economic procedure. Attitude toward law is the administration of justice in accord with fixed principles, and established evidence, with a strict regard to consequences. A greater number of citizens and extent of territory may be brought within its compass. Avoids the dangerous extreme of either tyranny or mobocracy. Results in statesmanship, liberty, reason, justice, contentment, and progress.

And you are still dumber than dirt.
The republican form is a system of the democratic typePlease tell me where it say's in the Constitution, that we are a democratic republic.
All I can find is in Article 4 Section 4 that each state is guaranteed to a Republican form of government.
Old saying...
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for supper
I do see the words in Artucle 4 Sec. 4 where is says ;
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government.
I don't see where it say's Democracy?
