Wrong....a FEDERAL REBUCLIC....as defined in the US CONSTITUTION and the FEDERALIST PAPERS. Still not wanting to READ the documented truth? "The United States shall guarantee to every state a REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT." -- Article 4, Section 4, Clause 1

Federalist Government: The combining of several units to from one common entity for the protection of the whole. The primary reason for forming a federal republic? To form a standing army that would protect all the states when called to duty....that is the primary reason for the existence of a Centralized Federal Government....to do what a single state cannot do, protection and infrastructure to allow interstate trade. Its not a WELFARE STATE....the general welfare concerns of society rests entirely with the individual states. Read the Constitution.

The United States is not a democracy — and it wasn't meant to be one

Contrary to catchy slogans, memes and other slick forms of electioneering, the government of the United States was never intended to be a pure democracy. In fact, most of the institutions today’s activists complain about were designed to thwart the pernicious effects of too much democracy. They’re anti-democratic by design. Rather than flaws that require remedy, these institutions were (and are) essential safeguards for individual liberty.

The Framers knew that in its pure form democracy could be dangerous. The writings of the founding era are replete with warnings of this fact:

• “Real liberty is not found in the extremes of democracy, but in moderate governments,” Alexander Hamilton wrote. “If we incline too much to democracy we shall soon shoot into a monarchy, or some other form of a dictatorship.”
• Thomas Jefferson lamented that “a democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where 51 percent of the people may take away the rights of the other 49.”
• James Madison argued that democracies “have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.”
• John Adams concluded that democracy “never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.”

Despite what many of today’s activists would have us believe, the anti-democratic institutions of the American Republic are just as vital now as they were over 200 years ago.
