A constitutional democratic republic is a type of government based on the principles of a constitution in which officials elected by the people represent the people in the legislative and governing processes. A constitutional republic is not a direct democracy in that a mere plurality of the v**ers does not get to control the processes of the government directly.

The United States is an example of a constitutional democratic republic. The government is run according to the principles of an established Constitution, and the people do not pass laws based on a direct majority. Rather, they elect representatives to a legislative body who can then represent their interests but who can only pass laws that adhere to the principles of the Constitution.

One of the main principles of the U.S. Constitution is the division of powers among the three parts of the government, the executive, legislative, and judicial branches, through a system of checks and balances. The executive branch has the power to veto laws passed by the legislative branch that it deems unconstitutional. If challenged by the people, the judicial branch has the power to strike down laws it considers unconstitutional. The legislative branch, however, retains the powers to revise such laws so that it meets the constitutional benchmarks as expressed by other branches, and it also retains the important power of passing new laws.

I finally found the difference between the two, a republic... and a representative democracy, it's all in the details. lol

A representative democracy uses a form of monarchy at its head, such as a prime minister, whereas a republic uses a "President" as head of state.

With that said we are defined as a Constitutional Federal Democratic Republic, or that we are governed by a Democratic Constitutional Federal Republic. Are governing philosophy is democratic... "We the People".
We are a hybrid, our laws are governed by our Republic~enforcing our laws, the Democracy~by the people.

There is a distinction. Republic: "A state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives..." Democracy: "A system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives.

Thus, Our constitution includes the e*******l college to ensure that each individual state, when v****g on Federal Government e******ns for President of all states, ensures that the v**es of each state are fairly represented when rolled up to the total.

This eliminates a very few and very populous states from controlling the outcomes of 50 individual states.

Thus, our country, the United States, is therefore also a constitutional republic. Indeed, the United States might be labeled a constitutional federal representative democracy.

Or more commonly defined by freely educated, not indoctrinated, citizens:
as the federal government composed of three distinct branches: legislative, executive, and judicial, whose powers are vested by the U.S. Constitution in the Congress, the President, and the federal courts, respectively.

This ensures that to perform for the people, these branches must focus their work on the best solutions for the people as defined by the limits in the USA Constitution.

There is only Law in the document. Emotions or feel good whims of the day are not acceptable as a means to control outcomes when Law is interpreted. Only facts. And the total citizenry of the USA must understand the differences. I submit that the Democrats and the far left are trying to usurp the power of the people by calling for a popular v**e of the sum of all v****g states to be the new norm.

Oh, come now. Republicans are indoctrinated by Fox News--in fact, the viewers of Fox News insist on it else they won't watch. And with the presidency, we are talking about one aspect of government though through it is the majority of the e*******l college that elects the president. The Senate and House are elected by a simple majority and it takes the majority of the Senate for appointments including the judiciary. In all aspects, we are talking about the principles of democracy so once again, a Republic is simply the form of democracy we use!
