do you mean american democracy aka the republic or actual democracy?
democracy is where everyone has a say in the issues of the community. You meet in the parthenon for the town meeting, any roman citizen can stand up and make his case, then everyone who came to the meeting votes on the issue.
A republic is where they choose individuals from each province who supposedly represent the ideas of all the varied people in thier constituency. aka a representative democracy. they are your representatives to take your place in that great meeting of the parthenon. They will theoretically stand up in the room and say the things you would say. yeah right.

Free enterprise, freedom, sovereignty comes from the people and capitalism are the basic features of democracy.

(1) We govern ourselves through voting (2) we are organized by laws, rather than by whims of a single powerful person or group
