It is said that, when asked what sort of government the Founders had created, Benjamin Franklin replied that they had given us "A Republic....if you can keep it."
Always remember that the United States is a representative republic, should you be asked that on a pop quiz or a game show. It's a style of democracy but not in its pure form. Look up democracy and republic in the dictionary and you'll see what I mean.
And that's today's lesson in American Government! :)
