We are a capitalist country. Are senators and president only care about where the money is and rarely anything else.
Yes we should be a true democracy before we start trying to push are messed up issues on other countries for twisted reasons. That are leaders usually lie about to us over.

A republic isn't necessarily a democracy, but many are. A republic just implies that there is no monarch.
Republics which are also democracies:
France
Italy
S. Korea
America
Countries like Canada, Britain and Australia are democracies but not republics, as they recognise the Queen. Countries such as N. Korea and Iran are republics but not democracies.
See the difference?

this could be someone-friendly false impression. The U.S. is a democracy whose form of government is a republic (from the Latin, res publica -- public element). England is a democracy whose form of government is a constitutional monarchy. particular, there is no present day us of a this could be a right away democracy interior the sense that historic Athens replaced into. There, all male voters (no slaves or women prefer be conscious) participated quickly in putting the coverage of the city-state. yet as quickly as a polity grows previous the size wherein a individual can actual return and forth walking or horseback in 24 hours (to reach on the communicate board), direct democracy turns into untenable. The U.S. device is representative democracy, meaning that the persons choose for people who will make the guidelines of their stead. Is ours a appropriate device? of direction no longer, yet as Churchill pronounced, "Democracy is the worst form of government, different than for all the others that have been tried."

a republic protects minority rights.
Say 90 out of 100 want to take the rights from the other 10. In a republic it isn't permitted. In a democracy it is.
Republics with constitutions are better than democracies.

A prophecy told by Jesus (Word of God) is that Iraq will be divided into 3 parts. Revelation 16:19, and that bombs will hail down upon them Revelation 16:20-21.
Revelation 17 tells of the Catholic Church and the United States, the 7 king (pope) and the 9th king (president) are now in office. The 8 pope will be the anti-christ and the 10 president shall fall to Gog (Asia) and Magog (Russia).

A republic is representative government, although with democratic principles. A pure democracy would have everything decided by popular vote: Not too smart.
And to answer your question: NO
Do I need to be a college graduate to encourage people to go to college? Your reasoning is not good.

People use the terms interchangably. The US is a republic, and it is attempting to set up other republics.

A democracy is asking two wolves and a chicken what they want for dinner. We are not one.
