The United Stares is a constitutional republic and a representative democracy. The United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy and a representative democracy. Democracy is not the opposite of a republic. Monarchy is.

- siidooloo 8y agoWhat you’re saying is still true in a constitutional monarchy. Being a republic or democracy doesn’t matter. Its the constitutional part that’s important.
- hannasanarion 8y agoRepublic and Democracy are not exclusive. There is no such thing as "being republic or democracy". It's really simple: Monarchy: yes king Republic: no king Democracy: yes votes Autocracy: no votes Constitutional: yes constitution Absolute: no constitution You can have these in any combination.
- someguydave 8y agoMonarchy is a democracy with one voter.
