Republic-vs-Democracy

Interesting .... Just after the completion and signing of the Constitution, in reply to a woman's inquiry as to the type of government the Founders had created, Benjamin Franklin said, "A Republic, if you can keep it." Not only have we failed to keep it, most don't even know what it is.

This well worth your time. A quick review of the differences between a Monarchy (or Dictatorship), an Oligarchy, a Democracy, a Republic, and Anarchy. And, did you know that the term "democracy" does not appear in either our Declaration of Independence nor our Constitution. Watch and learn...
