Democracy is a governmental form which is much touted as well. The USA is NOT a democracy. Our founders endeavored long and hard to avoid giving us a democracy. All democracies fail when the people discover they can vote themselves money from the treasury.
We were a republic at the country's founding; we're democracy now and have been for some time.
