If you want to get technical, the US is a democratic republic. The only direct voting we do is for the president and local elections....all of our laws, etc...we vote for Senators, Congressmen, Representative for some committee, etc.Originally Posted by Smith285
Actually, that would be a democracy
A republic has the population vote people into office, and then those people make the laws, which is why it's so important to know the character and stances of the people you are voting into office.
Also, it is technically up to each state to determine the drinking age, but it was agreed upon by all the states to make it 21 across the board.
