[QUOTE="NJ package handler, post: 423308, member: 18724"] It's formally a federal republic. So what? Federal republics are supposed to have democratic governments. From the CIA Factbook entry on America: [B]"Government Type[/B]: Constitution-based federal republic; strong democratic tradition." From Encarta: "In the United States the one basic principle is representative democracy, which defines a system in which the people govern themselves by electing their own leaders." From the U.S. Government's Printing Office (GPO): "We provide key documents that define the American [I]democracy[/I], divided by governmental branch." [/QUOTE]
