A true democracy would mean that everyone votes on every piece of legislation all the time. We, however, vote representatives in our stead to vote on said legislation, thus make our nation a republic (re: greek city-states). The only small window of time in which this country is even slightly a democracy is when you vote ... then ... poof ... it's gone again and back to being a republic.
Is a country's economic system necessarily tied to the form of government which it chooses to take?
