I know the answer to this question. Just polling people to see who knows the difference and what they are? Is the USA a Republic or a Democracy?

In a Republic, elected representatives make the laws. In a "pure" Democracy there are no representatives and the people themselves vote on each issue. James Madison in the Federalist #10 in 1787 was the first to seperate the definitions of democracy and republic.Today the distinction between the two terms has been lost and most of the world defines the modern republic as a modern democracy. California and states who put for similar intiatives on their ballots are closer to pure democracy.

The majority believe this is a Democracy, in reality it is a Socialist Republic. We have too many give away programs such as welfare and Hospitalization if the Emergency Ward is used.
