The word republic is meaningless when it comes to forms of government

exactly, plus 'republic' is noun, the terms democratic and authoritarian are adjectives
There is nothing like a good morning "troll" through the swamp on a Sunday midmorning.

What? Your fingers broken? The US is a "federal republic" as defined in its founding documents such as the Untied States Constitution. Simply read Article 4, Section 4, Clause 1 of the US Constitution....even a monkey can comprehend this simple 8th grade level text. "The United States shall GUARANTEE to every state in the union (the United States of America) a REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT.
The BIG LIE? The FALSE PREMISE...the US is a democracy is easily debunked by simply reading from the Federalist Papers
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Federalist_Papers
These documents were a collection of articles drafted by Hamilton, Madison, and John Jay...with the purpose of explaining why the Constitution contains certain guarantees, these papers were used to promote the ratification process that demanded a 75% super majority of states representation to confirm the Contract agreement among THE STATES called the US Constitution. FYI: the constitution does not belong to federal government to be used to hit the states over the head like a hammer.....the constitution belongs to THE PEOPLE/STATES that ratified this agreement.
What did Madison have to say about REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT v. a DEMOCARY?
Federalist No. 10 States that the more this republic begins to look like a democracy the greater danger is its total collapse because there has never been a successful example of a pure democracy in world history.....democracies, mob rules are not compatible with individual freedom and liberty and have no respect for the rights of the property owner...and they always end in violent revolution.
If you are promoting the false premise that the US is a democracy.....you are nothing but an Alinsky radical socialist that demands that the Government control all things...to include YOUR OWN LIBERTY.
A perfect example of Madison's wisdom. Look toward Europe.....the majority of which call themselves a Democracy....HOW MANY VIOLENT REVOLUTIONS HAVE THESE NATIONS SEE OVER THE SAME TIME PERIOD THE US HAS BEEN GOVERNED AS A REPUBLIC? Over a 250 yr. period the nations of Europe have underwent "6" violent revolutions. Madison hit the nail on the head.

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.

Another one of your ignorant stupid lies.
The United States is a Representative Republic, not a democracy you moron. The Founding Fathers specifically avoided establishing a Democracy.
Lord you're an idiot.

The United States is not a democracy — and it wasn't meant to be one
https://thehill.com/opinion/campaig...-not-a-democracy-and-it-wasnt-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:

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.”

The constitution is little more than TP when it comes to SCOTUS immaculate Islam conception for one of Ike's Washington, D.C. born W II Pentagon staff sergeants where those Federal Lynching KKK churchstate of hate cops Mengele baptize thine eyes by urinations Freudian slip of those burning Bush's 9/11 Al Qaeda "death to the infidels" would have standing to baptize the military eyes & kill all the Jews in NYC & Israel; since they've just flushed all the holycosts with patriot act propaganda.

In the context of American constitutional law, the definition of republic refers specifically to a form of government in which elected individuals represent the citizen body and exercise power according to the rule of law under a constitution

There is nothing more pathetic than a snotty punkass little bitch like you who thinks he's clever
You cannot take words out of their historical context.
The fact that the framers of the constitution studied the Roman republic does not mean our 21st century government is a replica of the Roman republic in any way.
The framers were oligarchs. We have amended the constitution many times since 1789 to create our representative democracy

There's that way too dang lily brilliant white patriot act national religion super ego of condescending arrogance where if SCOTUS & POTUS, who was threatened by Arab "death to the infidels" lynch a retired Washington, D.C. WW II Pentagon staff sergeant to Eisenhower Veteran for being Islam before 9/11; certainly expect Islamophobia Christiananality pedophilia fabricated misnomers of immaculate drugs in synagogue conceptions admitting to supreme swastika up Uranus court business with Muslims attempt to nuke Temple Mount 9/11; as suicidal super ego homicidal sociopsychopathilogical cross conditioned way beyond therapy mentalities of the Islamidiotocracy are too cognitively dissonant to do otherwise.
And again, how do we attain that "Federal Republic?" The term "Federal Republic," as the Founders employed the term, basically means we are not a Confederation, which is what they were getting away from
"Federal Republic" refers to the type of Government the country has, just as the Constitution is the framework for the Government, a lot of countries have the same structure, but what makes us different, as it does the same for most of the Western Democracies, is that we elect our representatives in that "Federal Republic" democratically
We are a democratic republic, again, it isn't all that difficult
