 I relearned recently in a Louisiana Online Conference Call that the United States of America is NOT a DEMOCRACY. We are a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC. A little background seems in order to set the stage. | Democracy | In a pure democracy one person equals one vote, there is no constitutional document, often the majority rules and the minority have few recourses. | Constitutional Republic | A form of government in which officials are elected by citizens to lead them as directed by their country’s constitution. A country is considered a constitutional republic if: * It has a constitution limiting the government’s power. * Citizens choose their own heads of state and other governmental officials. |
