I looked up "is the US democratic" and here is what I got:
Is the US Constitution democratic?
The Constitution is organized into three parts. ... The Constitution established a Federal democratic republic. It is the system of the Federal Government; it is democratic because the people govern themselves; and it is a republic because the Government's power is derived from its people.
The people govern themselves, so you are a democratic republic. But happy to learn something new every day!
