The United States of America is a type of Democracy [not a pure direct democracy, as is the classical meaning of the term, but a mixed-Republic with a representative democracy and democratic spirit].

 

• When people say “America is a Republic” they are essentially referring to the system in general (a type of lawful popular government, with checks and balances, and some form of representative democracy).
  
  
• When people say “America is not a democracy” they generally mean “it isn’t a pure direct democracy (where people vote on and create laws directly).”
  
  
• Likewise, when people say “America is a democracy” they are denoting the democratic elements within the republican system.
  
  

FYI a socalist system can have all these elements and many proposed Socialist systems do . Socialism is not direct Democracy.
