Actually it's not. It's "American Democracy" - a novel form of government which only we have.
Wrong. To be exact, the United States of America is defined as a federal constitutional republic. It is a constitutional republic and representative democracy, "in which majority rule is tempered by minority rights protected by law". The government is regulated by a system of checks and balances defined by the U.S. Constitution, which serves as the country's supreme legal document.
