It's embarrassing that people need correcting on this, a product of a compromised edu-indoctrination system and a joke of a MSM. No wonder they only teach tiny snippets of the Federalist Papers.

Constitutional - Constitution, not any man or group of men is the supreme law. Republic - Elected representatives, all manner of baffles, checks to retard the exercise of power.

"Democracy" isn't even an actual form of government, just a pejorative to GUARD AGAINST.

U.S. is not any kind of Democracy or hybrid of one. Bring this up at every opportunity because it's important and excellent shilldar/propaganda exposure. People who use "our Democracy" other than as shorthand or to compare to dictatorships are almost always partisan liars.
