Yep...It's official. The US Government considers itself to be a democratic republic.

Quote:
What form of government do we have in the United States?
The United States, under its Constitution, is a federal,
representative, democratic republic, an indivisible union of 50
sovereign States. With the exception of town meetings, a form
of pure democracy, we have at the local, state, and national
levels a government which is: ``federal'' because power is
shared among these three levels; ``democratic'' because the
people govern themselves and have the means to control the
government; and ``republic'' because the people choose elected
delegates by free and secret ballot.
