The US is primarily a representative democracy with elements of a republic. In a representative democracy, citizens elect officials to make decisions on their behalf, which aligns with the US system of electing representatives at various levels of government. Furthermore, the US operates as a republic, where power is held by elected officials and laws are created through a system of representative government rather than direct citizen participation in decision-making.
In the US, representative democracy is used in the form of a bicameral legislature (House of Representatives and Senate) where elected officials represent the interests of their constituents. Citizens vote for representatives who then make laws and policies on their behalf. This system allows for a balance between direct input from the people and the practical need for efficient decision-making.
