Ah, you're trying to make people believe that since we're a Constitutional Republic therefore we are not a democracy. (In fact, we are both of course.) So you're grooming people to think it's okay to destroy democracy.... because we're a constitutional republic? Got it.

Show me where the word "democracy" appears in the US Constitution. I'll wait.

Neither does the word sunshine, but it exists. The entire document is the structure for a representative system of government, in which people have the right to express their will through those they elect. Which is....a democracy.

We are a constitutional republic. We have democratic processes in it but we are not a majority rule (mob rule) style nation. Republic = Rule of Law. It comes from Latin Res Publica Res traditionally = thing And publica = public Translated to the public thing or the law.
