What form of government do you think we have in the USA?

who is that? I can't stop staring at her eyes.

According to the constitution, we have a limited government run by the people and for the people. The first ammendment gives us freedom of speech, and the second ammendment gives us the right to bear arms (what many people don't know is that this ammendment was intended for us to protect ourselves from the government)UT_Wrestler

Can somebody alert a mod this thread? I can't for some reason.

ehhwhatever

Illuminati-controlled puppet-fascism maintaining an illusion of democracy and liberty.

[spoiler] It's actually a constitutional representative republic, right? [/spoiler]

Yeah they tried and the articles failed, then they adopted the constitution.

Representative democracy.

Socialist. :(

One that actually gets something done would be nice for a change

Constitutionally we have a Democratic Republic. In practice, its democratized oligarchy with dictatorial tendencies.

Socialist. :(

Or laissez-faire, after all the 1800s were so great weren't they.

we've got a sith government, obama is just the figure head, lord sidius really controls us:shock:

*ahem* sorry i mean were supposed to be a republic:D

I'm not really sure I understand the point of this question; if it's in response to those who call the United States a democracy, then I'm fairly sure that those people do in fact understand both that we elect government representatives and that those representatives' ability to pass laws are regulated and restricted by a constitution.

Constitutional democracy.

Which is a subset of a broader category of government called Representative democracy.

A subset because while there areRepresentatives, the US system limits the power of Representatives by enshrining other mechanisms and powers in the Constitution, most significantly inalienable rights.
