Republic vs Democracy: What is the Real Form of the United States Government?

Democracy? We don’t need no stinking democracy!

America's Watchtower

   As every single American should understand the Constitution set up a republican form of government. In fact, the Constitution actually guarantees each state a republican form of government.

  If you ask most Americans today, and this includes our elected officials, what form of government exists in the United States of America you will almost always be told we are a democracy.

  I cannot put into words how upset I get when I hear a politician call America a democracy for the Founding Fathers feared democracy almost as much as they distrusted Monarchy. They understood that a democracy was the tyranny of the majority over the minority.
