The concept of America as an "Imperial Democracy" suggests a tension between democratic ideals and imperialistic practices. From its inception, the United States exhibited elements of democracy, such as the establishment of a constitution and the promotion of individual rights. However, it also engaged in imperialistic actions, such as territorial expansion through the Louisiana Purchase, the annexation of Texas, and the displacement of Native Americans. These dual characteristics indicate that while America was founded on democratic principles, it simultaneously embraced imperialistic tendencies that would shape its evolution.
