It is not a Democracy, and it is not a democratic republic. It is a REPUBLIC. Period. Lying politicians want you to think it's a democracy so they can systematically destroy your rights.
The people own the country, yes, but as long as a politician stays within the Constitution (NONE DO ANYMORE), then all is well and there is no danger. At the moment with national gun control debates, the many people think they get a say in legislation, and they think just because they want something they'll get it because it's a "democracy."
In other words, yes it is a republic and nothing but, and I beg you not to fall into this mind trap of gun control and "Democracy."
Both.
The US federal and state governments, and most county and city governments, are republics. As the term "republic" can have many meanings ("Islamic republic", "Soviet socialist republic"), the US governments are more accurately described as constitutional representative democracies: Representatives are chosen directly by the people, and the constitution prevents abuse by majorities.
The United States was founded as a republic; as Ben Franklin, one of our founding fathers said when asked directly, what the United States was founded as a Monarchy or a republic, he responded, "A republic, if you can keep it." Article IV of the Constitution of the United States guarantees a "Republican" form of government to each state.
In a few places, a direct democracy exists, at times. This is most famously the case in the Town Meetings held annually by small towns, but not cities, in New England.
It is a democratic republic, not necessarily a democracy. A democracy is worse than anarchy, tyranny, and monarchy; according to our founding fathers. So they wanted a republic, which is the best form of government because they wanted the voice of the people; they thought a democracy was bad because of the human habits, if someone got mad they would vote for something, etc.
Yes,
A republic is a representative democracy where the people vote for representatives to wield power in their stead. Like in the USA
America is a Republic. We elect our representatives. We do not rule directly for Federal Laws and even in most states. We elect representatives.
