Republic basically means we vote for people to represent us. A true democracy would be impossible to manage.

If we were a democracy then Al Gore (winner of the popular vote) would have been our last president not George W. (winner of the electoral college).

As an ex-teacher, it has always amazed me the number or people who think majority rules. The United States is not a democracy though we lean that way in our republic.
