The use of Republic in the case of the U.S. in this point in time is quite arbitrary

2018-06-15 01:21:00 UTC  

The U.S. is democratic state

2018-06-15 01:36:19 UTC  

Can we pin actual questions?

Constitutional republic

2018-06-15 01:42:11 UTC

2018-06-15 01:42:32 UTC  

Democracy would be every law is voted on by every person

2018-06-15 01:42:43 UTC

2018-06-15 01:42:55 UTC  

The reps write and vote on laws

2018-06-15 01:43:10 UTC  

Yes

2018-06-15 01:43:13 UTC  

perhaps the US isn’t an actual democratic republic, but that was the intended system when it was created.

2018-06-15 01:43:24 UTC  

Not even

2018-06-15 01:43:43 UTC  

Only land owning white men could vote on reps

2018-06-15 01:43:54 UTC  

that is a democracy, no?

2018-06-15 01:44:12 UTC

2018-06-15 01:44:16 UTC

These are just names

2018-06-15 01:45:31 UTC  

But they dont match the definition

2018-06-15 01:46:28 UTC  

i don’t claim to be an expert on American government or anything, but i know for fact that the intended system upon creation was a democratic republic

2018-06-15 01:47:55 UTC  

a federation of states in which eligible citizens elect representatives to vote for their interests

2018-06-15 01:48:02 UTC  

im not claiming that this is how it works

2018-06-15 01:48:09 UTC  

but this is how it was meant to work

2018-06-15 01:49:24 UTC  

Majority rule would not respect everyone's rights and maintain rule of law

2018-06-15 01:49:31 UTC  

That's why we don't have that

2018-06-15 01:49:34 UTC
