If you want to use the 18th century definition of the word. The term "democracy" has broadened quite a bit in the past three centuries or so. Many of the founders of the US, for example, used the term disparagingly whereas today its common usage is to refer to nations with representational government. Even as early as the 19th century we had de Tocqueville's classic "Democracy in America".
