The differences between a constitutional republic and a representative democracy are subtle enough for the purpose of discussing relative powers of banks to government, the distinction is not massive.

"Representative Democracy" is, by the very definitions of those two words, an oxymoron. It, along with "American Democracy" were invented to distract sheep from the real goal of replacing actual slavery with consumer slavery. It allows people to feel like they have power to cause real change, but in fact the only elements of the system malleable by citizens are those which are selected for us. For instance, try and vote us out of Iraq.

"Representative Democracy" and "American Democracy" are actually two euphamisms for our unique system of military/government/media/corporate authority over people. If you look at JUST the governmental aspect, it can be described most correctly as a "constitutional republic," but to thus ignore the other major power centers of this country (the bombs [military - this includes paramilitary organizations {e.g. Blackwater}], media influence, & money, respectively) would be sticking your head in the sand in a major way.
