The Mayflower compact would be a better example of Direct Democracy then Indirect Democracy. This is because the agreement was ment so that the British Gov could not easily control them as everyone would have a say in it and decide wether it was wise to let the Britsh Gov interfere. An Indirect demo would be where citizens would tell their elected official their opinions and he would report to the king. Our US gov is a good example of Indirect democracy though it also shares a few beliefs with Direct Democracy.
We elect people to represent us, therefore, it is a representative democracy.

The monarchs were afraid the thought of having a seemingly completely free democracy would spread, taking away the little control they had; they also didn't want another revolution, as it results in changing the authority, in their case, the monarchy.
Americans and the US are very patriotic and large advocates of democracy. The US has a long history of trying to spread democracy around the world because of its strong favoritism of democracy, as the US was the first modern democracy in the world. Especially in the past, the US wanted nothing to do with dictatorships or non-democratic nations. That is why there was the Cold War, for starters.

Democracy has nothing to do with capitalism, which is the economic system in the US. It would be capitalism that would be important to buying products. While democracy does not hinder economic growth, it does not help it either.
That would be we the people.
American leaders worked to to establish democracy and free enterprise in other countries to spread american culture! :)
No, the US has a representative democracy.
Representative democracy is a democracy where the people choose a representative to represent them in the government. This representative will then vote for the things the people he represents want.
