Original Note:
'Democracy' and 'constitutional republic' are not mutually exclusive. The US is not a direct (or 'pure') democracy - it's a representative democracy, by far the most common form of democratic government. By the note's logic the only democracy in the world is Switzerland. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/lesson-plans/Government_and_You_handouts.pdf https://reason.com/volokh/2022/01/19/the-u-s-is-both-a-republic-and-a-democracy/
