We are a republic which is a representative (and in our case constitutional) democracy...a system of rule (laws) determined by the people's representatives who are democratically elected by the people.  Our democratic republic does have some flaws today...the built in flaw of the electoral college which bakes in the dangerous possibility of permanent minority rule, and more recently the fact that today the representatives select their voters rather than the other way around (gerrymandering) and first and foremost, your cult hero.
