I do not need to read your links. I am well versed on what a Democratic Republic is and is not when it comes to America. In America the fore fathers founded a Democratic Republic which is a representative form of government. Pure Democracy has never been practiced as a form of government by any country in history...at least that I am aware of. A pure Democracy does not elect representatives to make decisions for them but instead allows the people to vote directly on every issue.
I repeat...the US was founded as a Democratic Republic and that is the extent of it...period. Now
