The United States is a Presidential Republic, which is a type of DEMOCRACY.

Democracy encompasses any form of government in which the people have the ability to choose their leaders or laws. There are direct democracies, which are where the people themselves vote on laws, and indirect democracies where the people have the ability to choose their leaders, who in turn vote on the laws. Presidential Republics, which include the United States and large parts of Latin America, ave governments where all citizens over a certain age can vote for political parties that sit in Congress as well as voting for a President who is the chief executive. This makes the United States an indirect democracy. In Presidential Republics, there is a clear delineation between the legislative and executive branches.
