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.)
