For further clarity, a The American Republic is a democratic system of government, as opposed to the old Soviet Republics, which, though being representative in nature, and having elections (single party) were not based on democratic principles.
The type of Republic America aspires to being, is a representative democracy. Whether or not it suceeds in achieving that ideal is of course open to debate, but all things considered, it's a fair definition, involving the intent of the founders, and the mechanisms of the nation.
Clear? Comprende?
