Eugene Volokh of the UCLA School of Law notes that the United States exemplifies the varied nature of a constitutional republic—a country where some decisions (often local) are made by direct democratic processes, while others (often federal) are made by democratically elected representatives.

Answer: The United States is a representative democracy, AKA republic, because the citizens do not vote directly on laws. Rather, they elect representatives (the House of Representatives and the Senate) to vote on laws for them. If it were a direct democracy, every law would be voted on by anyone who cared to.

how does the constitution guard against tyranny using separation of powers and the balance of power between small and large stat
Bess [88]

Answer:

Separation of powers protects against tyranny by separating the central government into three branches. Montesquieu came up with legislative, judicial, and the executive branches so that one person or group will have all the power. The legislative branch does the law making while the executive branch carries out the laws and the judicial branch enforces them.

It stops too much power collecting in one place, and denies any one person the means to lead the country alone.
