The United states is not a DIRECT democracy (like ancient ATHENS), rather, it is a REPRESENTATIVE democracy. That is, Americans in each of the 50 states vote in democratic ("one vote-one value" elections) to select their Congressional REPRESENTATIVES (for the House and the Senate).
America is a Constitutional Republic that is a REPRESENTATIVE (liberal) democracy. At least, that is how is was set up, and that is what it is still supposed to be. RIGHT?
The system of government that operates in Great Britain today is called a Constitutional Monarchy. In this system - which exists within a parliamentary democracy - the hereditary Monarch, (currently King Charles III), acts as a non party political (de facto/symbolic) Head of State. The role of the Constitutional monarch in Britain today is, by convention, mainly restricted to performing representative and civic role, but does not include executive or policy-making powers.
Ironically, an American President seems to me to have the ready ability wield tremendous, personal, political power - while he is in office. He has a good deal of the kind of tyrannical power that a historical English monarch like King John or King Henry VIII (the kind of power that horrified the Founding Fathers !) Consider, for instance, the way President Joe Biden issued 60+ EXECUTIVE ORDERS (within the first 100 days of his administration) to open the Southern Border and then ENCOURAGE some 18+ million UN-VETTED, ILLEGAL, foreign aliens to pour into America. A 15 year - old could have told you that allowing Biden to do this using EXECUTIVE ORDERS ( in order to bypass Congress) was pure, tyrannical, Batshit - madness.
