SO HOW MANY OF YOU LOVERS OF DEMOCRAZY WOULD...

A democratic republic is a form of government operating on principles adopted from a republic and a democracy. Rather than being a cross between two entirely separate systems, democratic republics may function on principles shared by both republics and democracies.

Theory[edit]
Common definitions of the terms democracy and republic often feature overlapping concerns, suggesting that many democracies function as republics, and many republics operate on democratic principles, as shown by these definitions from the Oxford English Dictionary:
Republic: "A state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives..."[1]
Democracy: "A system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives."[2]
Eugene Volokh of the UCLA School of Law notes that the United States exemplifies the varied nature of a constitutional republic—a country where some decisions (often local) are made by direct democratic processes, while others (often federal) are made by democratically elected representatives.[3] As with many large systems, US governance is incompletely described by any single term. It also employs the concept, for instance, of a constitutional democracy in which a court system is involved in matters of jurisprudence.[3]
As with other democracies, not all persons in a democratic republic are necessarily citizens, and not all citizens are necessarily entitled to vote.[4] Suffrage is commonly restricted by criteria such as voting age.[5]
History[edit]
In the US, the notion that a republic was a form of democracy was common from the time of its founding, and the concepts associated with representative democracy (and hence with a democratic republic) are suggested by John Adams (writing in 1784):
No determinations are carried, it is true, in a simple representative democracy, but by consent of the majority or their representatives.[6]

Do you think he was talking about the U. S.?

The Constitution was not even written until 1787 and he had no clue what kind of government they would create.

Learn some history.

You obviously misunderstood my post. I said nothing about you not believing we are both. However, you only claimed we are a "democracy," not a democratic republic or representative democracyesd

When the founders rejected democracy they rejected the concept that the government should do what a majority wanted. One of their examples was the state governments which were absolving the debts accumulated to finance the revolution or issuing cheap paper money to lessen the cost because the citizens did not want to pay those debts.

THEY DID NOT REJECT DEMOCRACY YOU LIAR


they created a hybrid of system unlike the world had seen before


their decision to create this hybrid redefined the word Democracy

a Pure or Direct democracy


and a DEMOCRACY


I gave you all the definition of Democracy already


Now I will go get the definition of a pure or direct democracy

The Constitution had not yet been written, so he could not have been talking about our current system.
