OK, fair point. I come from a time when civics was taught in highschool.
I apologize for being a little aggressive, there's some here who do absolutely nothing but argue and complain about small things. The challenge fit the M.O., so I thought you were another one of them. Mea Culpa.
So, what you found was a revisionists attempt to dilute two very distinct and separate things. You can always see this when they use doublespeak to blow off the importance of the subject in question.
A Constitutional Republic and a Democracy, are two different things. Whereas a Comstitutional Republic is governed by a written Constitutional Law, A Democracy is naught but an ideological guideline that can be swayed whichever way the wind blows. Coincidentally, this is exactly what's been going on with our government:instead of legislating according to the Constitution, they've been legislating by Democracy (mob rule) only, and ignoring the Constitution wholesale.
One is very dissimilar from the other, BUT can be done hand in hand if done with the Constitution as the bar to not cross.
