The US government is part republic and part democracy. In a true democracy the people directly vote on laws - there are no representatives or senators. In a true republic the people vote on representatives who then vote on senators. So America is part of both. (The founding fathers originally intended America to be a true republic, but that changed in 1913 when the people were allowed to vote directly on senators. If you read the reasons behind the founding fathers' choice, a republic seems like a better idea.)

How many different democratic parties are there?

The number of democratic parties varies widely by country, as each nation can have multiple political parties that identify as democratic. For example, in the United States, the two main democratic parties are the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, but many other smaller parties also exist. Globally, hundreds of parties across different nations describe themselves as democratic, often with distinct ideologies and platforms.
