So first off tell your teacher that the United States does not have a Democracy, it is the Federal Republic and never was a True Democracy, and that the main difference between a Democracy and the Federal Republic is that Democracy is led solely by the people unanimously voting for laws directly but the Federal Republic ( in layman's terms ) people unanimously vote for the group who gets to vote for the big decisions.
