The government of the United States of America is a Democratic-Federal-Republic. The first part of the USA's government is democratic. Democracy is a government put in the people's hands. In a democracy, everybody votes for everything. However, in America we do NOT have a pure democracy, like a lot of people think. A democracy only works in small countries or communities. If we did have a pure democracy, all 300,000,000 people in America would have to go to Washington, D.C. to vote on every federal law passed. Obviously, the USA doesn't have a pure democracy. America shows democratic tradition through the election of its President and Congressmen. The United States' Government shows federalism through its federal and central government. Levels of government are set up [on a graph] vertically.
(see picture below- excuse me if its too small to see; if you can't see it, you can just click on the picture.) Federal government is at the top (as you may have noticed) but is supposed to have the least amount of power, which is why its space on the graph is so small. Below it, it says states. The states' governments are below the federal government, but are supposed to have more power. Below that are communities. (Examples are cities, towns, small organizations, etc.) They are below federal and state governments. Next are families, then individuals. Simple problems need to be solved at the bottom of the triangle and move up
only when necessary. More serious problems may start immediately at higher parts on the graph. An example would be foreign invasion. Foreign invasion can't be settled individually, in families, or communities. The federal government is who takes care of foreign invasion. You see, problems such as education and health care are not supposed to be taken care of by the federal government. They shouldn't be the ones to control our lives. Families, and when absolutely necessary, communities, should be the ones to take care of their education and health care. There is more than this, these are just more common government controls. Now to talk to republicanism. Republicanism is a system of government in which governmental officials represent the people or states. Senators and Representatives are great examples of America's republicanism. The government of the United States of America shows democratic, federal, and republican tradition, making us a
DEMOCRATIC-FEDERAL-REPUBLIC.
