Exactly and at the end tell them, “I’m sure you know the difference.”
I don't! I don't get this entire point of contention, it seems weird.
We are a republic that elects it's leaders through a democratic process. We are a democratic republic. Why is it wrong to say democracy but right to say republic even though both are missing a piece of the picture?
No, we are not a Democratic Republic. We are a Constitutional Republic that practices a Democratic political ideology.
The difference is quite significant. I would recommend doing a little reading on Civics to further define the two for you.
"No, we are not a Democratic Republic. We are a Constitutional Republic that practices a Democratic political ideology."
What's the difference?
I'm always amazed how lazy people can be here. A 10 second search, that's it.
Here's your easily searched info.
"The USA has been a Constitutional Republic since 1789: “A continual republic is a state in which the head of state and other officials are representatives of the people and must govern within an existing constitution. In a constitutional republic, executive, legislative, and judicial powers are separate into distinct branches.”
There is a difference between a constitutional republic and a democracy. A “democracy is run by people and republic is run by the laws of constitution.”
A Constitutional Republic is a system of laws to protect citizens and contain government. Tyranny of Democracy is not an idle statement. 51.1 percent may force it’s will on 49.9 percent in a Democracy! This is on display in the House of Representative’s current impeachment dealings, which are controlled by a Democratic majority."
Basic civics. Everyone should know this without having to ask, "What's the difference?"
