A republic...more accurately, and what they taught us in high school, a democratic republic.

"and to the republic for which it stands"
We've been programmed since birth to say/think that.

Since the USA doesn't have a monarch as the head of state and the supreme power lies in the votes of a body of citizens, it's a republic, since it uses a democratic system but also has a constitution guaranteeing essential liberties, it's a liberal democracy, and since it uses a model of representation rather than direct participation, it's also a representative democracy.

Although what they meant in saying "democratic republic" was that the people voted (as in democracy) for a leader (republic).

The votes so far kinda scare me. Democracy needs voters to be educated to be effective.

A representative - or indirect - democracy is a form of democracy in which voters elect people to govern the country. Many representative democracies are republics, but it isn't necessary. There are also monarchies which are representative democracies. They are two completely different things, which happen to go together often.

When Jeb Bush is president you will know what I mean.

quasi represented democracy with socialists overtones at federal level. Go lower in Government and the wierder it gets.
I think socialist democracy where the majority is the minority at both the controlling levels and the voting levels. |

A dictatorship, ruled by the iron fist of political agendas and secret handshakes.
