[QUOTE="n2sooners, post: 2245467, member: 26539"] I think constitutional republic is more accurate. We do democratically elect some officials. We don't directly elect the president and were never intended to elect senators (they are supposed to represent the interest of the state, not the people). And we don't elect most judges. We do elect our representatives and now our senators. But we don't get a vote on every piece of legislation and every public official like we would in a democracy. [/QUOTE]
