I live in a constitutionally guided representative based republic.
Democracy it isn' t.
As long as representatives are elected by the people, then you have some form of democracy in your government. Where I live, in the US, the right to vote for representatives is enshrined in the constitution. Therefore the US fits both the definitions of a Constitutional Republic AND a Representative Democracy. But splitting hairs over what to label our government isn’t really what concerns me. What concerns me is the rise of pro-autocratic sentiment among certain vocal minorities, and whether they can get a foothold in the government due to disproportional representation. That, is my primary concern.
