To put the question into context, in the United States of America, government is actually a Republic, and not a Democracy. Our Federal Government has three branches - The Legislative Branch (House and Senate - Congress); The Judicial Branch (Courts) and the Executive Branch (Office of the President and Cabinet Members) The National Government - Meaning the States in the Union - are headed by smaller versions of the three branches - The State Government. The term "Republic" means that although we have an overall, Federal System; States in the Union (The Republic) - Still retains ability to self-govern laws that are not pre-empted by federal law and the Constitution of the United States.
