Under our Constitution, the United States is supposed to be a representative republic.

Many people are under the misconception that the US is a democracy; it is not. The Founders of our country despised democracies as being far too subject to become corrupt and collapse into tyranny. The USA is a representative republic of specific and limited powers.

That isn't true any longer, of course; the US Constitution has been almost completely subverted, and is now subject to the exact kinds of corruption that the Founders feared.
