Originally posted by 1HotSVT: The United States is not a democracy, it is a Republic. Big difference is that in deocracy everybody makes the rules whereas in a Republic, we have elected officials that make the rules for us. We do have free speech, but there also is freedom of religion not freedom from religion and not freedom from being offended. If I sued everytime my feelings were hurt or I was offended, I would be in court all of the time.
Yeah and i've also heard of it reffered to as a social democracy, want a cookie? I really wanst trying to get technical, rather very general.
