That's the fucking definition

Or founded on liberal principles

Democracy is where the people are allowed to choose on the government

Not necessarily

It has 3 meanings

In the dictionary

Republic is where you elect representatives

^^

a democracy is where the people get to have a vote,

the US is a democratic republic, in which the people vote who represents them in the Republic

Which is why America is not a democracy

It's a constitutional republic

Nobody except Switzerland is a Democraty in the world

Isn't there a country with liquid democracy?

Monaco or something

America is a Constitutional Republic, using the system of Democratic Republics 😉

Switzerland

'government by the people;
a form of government in which the supreme power rests with the people and is used directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system.'

Democraty

A republic is a form of government in which the country is considered a “public matter”, not the private concern or property of the rulers. The primary positions of power within a republic are not inherited, but are attained through democracy, oligarchy or autocracy. It is a form of government under which the head of state is not a monarch.

```but are attained through democracy```
