Constitutional Republic, based on democracy, but not on direct democracy. IOW, not based on a simple majority rule, but based on the principles of ‘democracy’, where all citizens share in the freedoms that ‘democracy’ offers.

Do you understand that democratic elements in a Constitutional Republic do not make a Constitutional Republic a democracy?

And a HUGE FYI/clue...a Constitutional Republic is based on a Constitution, thus Constitutional Republic.
Is that too hard of a concept for you to grasp?
