America based it's Constitution on a republic system of government where each person does not get a vote on every action, but has a representative who is supposed to vote for them. They were influenced by the idea of a "social compact" as discussed by john Locke and also by English common law and the Roman Republic.

A Totalitarian government is not a single base form of government, it is an administrative type of government that requires a base form of government to exist. You can have a, Totalitarian: Dictatorship, Monarchy, Oligarchy, Democracy, etc. but you cannot have a 'free form totalitarian' government as it has no base existence.


Does The Constitution always bind the government?

The constitution sets down how the US government will work. It does, in a manner of speaking 'control' the government, for it has all the laws, but it is more the base for the government, since it can be amended. It isn't the government itself. There are many ways of thinking about the constitution--a base, a way to control something, etc. In my opinion, there is no real 'controller' of the US government, since it was set up just because of that; to make sure that there is equal balance between all branches. The closest thing to a controller is the president--but he is more of a leader than that. Hope this helps! (If you like this answer, please give me a trust point) Isabella246
