Oh yeah? Then why isn't the word "democracy" written anywhere within the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence?

Because the Founders wanted to avoid using any form of that word like the plague and for good reason. Just because it has some democratic functions doesn't mean it should be regarded as such.

What is your problem? I stated that the word "democracy" is not mentioned at all in the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution. The only thing I can think of off the top of my head where it's mentioned by a Founding Father is in Federalist paper #10 where it is not looked upon very favorably.

Since you couldn't come up with a rebuttal, you decided instead to go off on a childish tangent, further solidifying my point that the American form of government is a republic, not a democracy. So stop spouting this bullshit that it is.

Once again, IHBT.
