"As the Republicans never fail to point out, the U.S. is a republic, not a democracy (like the UK)." I think it is more accurate to say the UK is a democratic monarchy while the US is a democratic republic. "republic" is from 2 Latin words: re + publica, literally it means "the public thing." The concept of democracy (everyone gets to vote) comes from the Greeks. The concept of a republic (representative government in which the head of state is elected) comes from the Romans. Folks its all their fault! PCM
