Best Answer

The United States of America has been a representational democracy since its birth in 1776. A representational democracy is defined as a democracy in which the people elect representatives to make decisions as opposed to a direct democracy(as seen in Ancient Greece), in which the population is small enough that everyone who is qualified to vote can vote on every topic that arises.
