Democracy vs. Republic

What is the difference between a democracy and a republic?  Which one are we here in the United States?  I love this video because it explains it so simple and easy.  Check it out!

Yeah you know there are so many people now-a-days that think that we need to have a more pure form of democracy, but that is not the way to go. There are plenty of democracies in the world today, and none of them are near as good as the form of government we have in the USA. The more we know why our government is the way it is the more we will be willing to defend it from people that want to take it away, whether it be by force, or by more subtle means.

Great lesson in political science. More people need to understand the republic form of government!
