Today I'm really having trouble with my World History essay papers (college prep sucks), so can anyone please help me answer this? I'm not looking to copy your answer exactly or anything like that. I'm just really not sure what the answer could be.
What kind of government did the U.S. Constitution create?

They are poking at it, but it appeared that no one got it straight.
It is a democratic republic, a type of government where you elect representatives and senators to vote in your stead in their respective houses.
It is not a Democracy, regardless of what you teacher says and you may find that if you look up the word Republic in the dictionary, that it says Democracy. That is a twisted definition and is untrue.
A true democracy would require all citizens to vote on everything, and will not work. Athens' democracy is the best example as is the democracy that theyhad for a short time in Florence, Italy.
A true democracy is chaos - as Jefferson said, it depends on an educated electorate and we have never been there.

The United States is actually not a strict democracy. It is a republic.

A republic, full of farmers who were supposed to be self-sufficient, but that really did not work out.

"A government ran by the people, for the people".
It's not about the political parties.
Many of our laws start out following Gods rulings.
