No, wait WHAT? DEMOCRACY? We the People: A Constitutional Republic, Not a Democracy. The United States is, indeed, a republic, not a democracy. Accurately defined, a democracy is a form of government in which the people decide policy matters directly—through town hall meetings or by voting on ballot initiatives and referendums.
