Why is the media always saying we are a democracy when we are actually a republic?

Asked by Darbio16 (767points) August 21st, 2009

Democracy is majority rule, so if 60% of people want you dead you are gonna die. A republic is a nation based on the law of the land, like our constitution. The moment we sway from the constitution, that will be the moment a ruthless dictator will take the reigns.
