It's not a democracy, it's a constitutional republic.

you're like the person that ignores the content of the statement and decides to correct their grammar because you have nothing actually interesting to say. The terms are interconnected and not mutually exclusive.
Key difference: All republics are democracies (to some degree), but not all democracies are republics

Tnanks for the history lesson Karen. I didn't say democracies and republics were the same thing. they are interconnected in the case of the United States (President in the background and all). Unlike, idk, North Korea that uses the word Democratic as a facade. That has nothing to do with how the US conducts democracy by electing people to represent them to form a republic. Those representatives that are DEMOCRATICALLY elected, exercise their power within the constraints of the constitution and the rule of law. Why aren't you equily upset he doesn't describe it as Federalist?
You know all of this though because you're not stupid, your just a nit-picky bitch.
Ferris Buellers day off from reality.
