And don't say democracy, because it's not a true democracy. I can never remember what the proper name for it is.

Its actually a representative Republic, with a much stronger federal government than was actually planned by the founding fathers. The Civil War changed that

A representative democracy; meaning we cast votes to choose people to tell us how to run our lives. It's not really freedom, too many people who can't handle the idea that we might make choices that are different than they way they think we should choose are in government making laws to take away our choices.

I consider it representative democracy, but I agree, it's not true democracy. There has never been one.
Maybe it is a Constitution-based federal republic and/or a strong democratic tradition

It's a Republic disguised as a Democracy.....but if you ask me it's a sham since elections here could be stolen like it was in 2000.

Its technically a "Republic"- that is, the people vote for what they believe is right.
However, its technically a socialist country since Welfaire, Social Security, and the government DEMANDS that they put their nose in everyones business.
