I did answer your question. My answer was that "as intended" ie: what it is on paper is a "Republic of Republics". The US Constitution is quite unique in that it sets up a not a single unitary government, but a framework for the States, which in turn it guarantees are themselves "Republics".

You are being very pedantic. Here's the Wikipedia definition of Republic:

In American English, the definition of a republic refers specifically to a form of government in which elected individuals represent the citizen body[2] and exercise power according to the rule of law under a constitution, including separation of powers with an elected head of state, referred to as a Constitutional republic[4][5][6][7] or representative democracy. [8]

I speak American English, so when I say "Republic" I mean one with a Constitution.

Many other countries use the term "republic" in their name, but that doesn't make them a republic. For instance, would you consider North Korea a "different kind of Republic" merely because they have the word "republic" in their countries name? I would not, it's a totalitarian dictatorship.

So what legitimate Republics exist which are not Constitutional but some other type? I'm not really aware of any.

So, I still prefer my three-word description to your two-word one, because it's not redundant and calls out the truly unique thing about the USA: the 50 States, which is quite different from all other (true) Republics that I am aware of.

And, while I answered your question (again!), you didn't answer mine. As usual.

I speak American English, so when I say "Republic" I mean one with a Constitution.

Then why can't you simply say "Constitutional Republic" instead of expecting someone to guess at what you mean? Wouldn't that cause less confusion?
It's a cat versus it's a black cat or even it's a black tom cat. See how the words I used narrowed things down substantially? You prefer to generalize, which is a form of deception in and of itself.

...it's not redundant and calls out the truly unique thing about the USA: the 50 States, which is quite different from all other (true) Republics that I am aware of.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA You're a true idiot if you think "the 50 States" (which didn't exist when the Constitution was written) is what makes America unique!
The thing that made America unique, and still does, is its Constitution. No other nation in the world had one like it and no other nation has anything close to America's Constitution, even in our modern era .
Thanks for the laugh.
The rest of your reply isn't even worthy of a response.
