There's no such thing as a representative republic. All republics have representation. A representative democracy is what we are, which is a type of republic.
YES the US is a republic, a representative democracy to be exact. I'm not sure what's so difficult to grasp about that. |

It is NOT a true democracy, because true democracy is based on mob rule. The US is a representative democracy, thus a republic. A representative democracy is a type of republic.

We are a democracy AND a republic. We are not a true democracy nor a true republic, though, we are both. This is what I've been saying all along. |

FWIW It was left up to the states to decide who could vote.The very first vote was in 1789. Only in Massachusetts was it a requirement to own land in order to vote. In Maryland the only requirement was 18 years old, in New Jersey women could vote. The Constitution does not state what requirements are to be met so that one is able to vote legally. As opposed to Lawfully, which is more or less practiced now.
Let it be known that the people of the United States do not elect the president, the electors from the states do, its called the electoral college. A majority of the citizens can vote for someone who ultimately could lose due to another state that has more electors voting the other way. We see this every 4 years, so I don't know how people think its actually a citizen who directly votes for the executive branch. If it were a true Democracy the people would decide. They don't.

Play your semantics Drama. I have nothing to prove to you because when I try, I get straw-manned. I live in academia because educated folks agree to play by certain rules of logic when debating. We all agree to never resort to logical fallacy, which you and others continually do on this board. I admit - I fall prey to a fallacy now and then, but I always take responsibility when I do. I refuse to have what I say manipulated by you. I state that we're a democracy and you run away with it. You refute me by saying that if we're a democracy then 51% can vote to kill the rest, taking the claim to an absurd level in a feeble attempt to prove a point. Well, I'm done. Listen more than you speak and your life will improve. |
