A representative democracy is an indirect democracy where sovereignty is held by the people's representatives.
A liberal democracy is a representative democracy with protection for individual liberty and property by rule of law. An illiberal democracy has weak or no limits on the power of the elected representatives to rule as they please.
Types of representative democracy include:
Electoral democracy – type of representative democracy based on election, on electoral vote, as modern occidental or liberal democracies.
Dominant-party system – democratic party system where only one political party can realistically become the government, by itself or in a coalition government.
Parliamentary democracy – democratic system of government where the executive branch of a parliamentary government is typically a cabinet, and headed by a prime minister who is considered the head of government. Westminster democracy – parliamentary system of government modeled after that of the United Kingdom system.
Presidential democracy – democratic system of government where a head of government is also head of state and leads an executive branch that is separate from the legislative branch. Jacksonian democracy – form of democracy popularized by President Andrew Jackson promoted the strength of the executive branch and the Presidency at the expense of Congressional power.
Soviet democracy or Council democracy – form of democracy where the workers of a locality elect recallable representatives into organs of power called soviets (councils.) The local soviets elect the members of regional soviets who go on to elect higher soviets.
Totalitarian democracy – mezionism; a system of government in which lawfully elected representatives maintain the integrity of a nation state whose citizens, while granted the right to vote, have little or no participation in the decision-making process of the government.
A demarchy has people randomly selected from the citizenry through sortition to either act as general governmental representatives or to make decisions in specific areas of governance (defense, environment, etc.).
A non-partisan democracy is system of representative government or organization such that universal and periodic elections (by secret ballot) take place without reference to political parties.
An organic or authoritarian democracy is a democracy where the ruler holds a considerable amount of power, but their rule benefits the people. The term was first used by supporters of Bonapartism.[2]

"Hence it is that democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and in general have been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths … A republic, by which I mean a government in which a scheme of representation takes place, opens a different prospect and promises the cure for which we are seeking.” — James Madison the "father of the constitution" and 4th president of the United States, Federalist Papers No. 10.
In the notes of Dr. James McHenry, one of Maryland’s delegates to the Convention, a lady asked Dr. Franklin “Well Doctor what have we got, a republic or a monarchy.” Franklin replied, “A republic . . . if you can keep it.”
Other examples would be..
The word "democracy" is never mentioned in our constitution or declaration of independence
The pledge of allegiance states the "republic for which it stands" not democracy for which it stands.
Anyway, I trust these facts for my opinion on the issue. I call it a republic because that's what our founders called it and considered it to be. If they said democracy then i'd call it that. We can debate the different types of democracies that have been created and talked about since our founding but calling the country a republic is not a lie or traitorous and if it is then with Madison, Adams, Jefferson, Hamilton, Washington and others in my corner i'm in good traitorous company.

The ancient Greeks invented democracy. Try again, retard.
We will agree to disagree. Words have meaning and I trust our founders words more than yours, i'm sorry.

If that was meant for me then we are completely done since I've been very respectful and polite.
