If it aint broke don't fix it. There are virtues in a parliamentary democracy but the negative side is that parties become too strong. \nThe US system which limits presedential terms works just fine with a semblance of power between Congress, the Executive and the Judiciary.

We live in a republic. Our type of government is called representative democracy. In a true democracy, every voter would vote on every issue. In a representative democracy, we vote on "representatives" to vote on every issue. Our representatives are supposed to vote with the majority view of their constituents. Most, instead, vote with their party and ignore the voice of the people who they work for.

a dictator comes to power from the outside,military or sometimes elected and then thake total control, a monarchy come to power through bloodlines, kings ,queens, princes,etc. and hands it down to the next generation. Most believe the were given the absolute rigt to rule from god. the outcome from both is always the same, the rule through fear

I am so reactionary that I don't support Bush. I want to re-establish the Byzantine Empire. I prefer feudalism to capitalism. Monarchy is better than a republic any day of the week. How about them apples?

Democratic. In a republic you have very little say in the laws that are passed and repealed, and the only things you basically vote on are the representatives. A federal government takes power away from the states and by extension the people, and as such is an unwanted unitary force. A democratic government means that the people vote on passing, amending, and repealing laws. For an example of the one true democracy on this planet, take a look at Switzerland.

Remember when counting, that a Republic (like the US) isn't technically a democracy. A democracy has the people directly deciding issues. A republic has some subset of the people picking other people who make all the decisions. \n\nThis would be a very different country if the actual majority of voting people made the decisions directly, rather than electing legislators. If you don't believe that, look at how many times in the recent past presidents have been elected without having a majority of the popular vote, but rather because of the way the electoral college works.

in The Republic, Plato illustrates a system of government in which there is a special class of Philosopher Kings who's business it is to run the government.  They are paid to do so, and can dedicate themselves to learning about laws and finding out what's best for the people as a whole.  Rome was a republic (for a time, before Ceasars took over and make it an Empire) with the citizens electing representatives.  This is part of the basis for the United States Government, which is actually a Republic. ("and to the Republic for which it stands...")  The fact that America is a Republic has nothing to do with the Political Party of the Republics.  Democrats don't intend to change our system away from being a Republic.  I consider myself a Conservative and vote Republican because I feel they're stance on financial issues is better.

I can't be very specific but I know a democracy is a system where the people vote for their representatives and all the laws/bi-laws that govern the country.

I think presidential. Parliamentary systems can be unstable in multiparty systems. Many times, no party has a majority in the legislature leading to temporary coaltions.

I'll do my best.  Republicans favor a small, inexpensive government and, therefore, lower taxes, as well as a strong military.\n\nDemocrats favor a large government that will collect higher taxes and dole out governmental support, and they prefer a small military.\n\nIn a nutshell, that's it.

Yes, I like living in a democracy.Its what hundreds of thousands of good men and women gave their lives for in the TWO world wars. Those people believed they were fighting for 'free speech' and the right to have a say in the running of this country.We have pseudo MPs here;they are dictators (most of them anyway)

The United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy.

The U.S has a constitutional government and operates as a representative democracy through a congressional system under a set of powers specified by its Constitution.\n\nCanada is a constitutional monarchy with Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada as head of state, and a parliamentary democracy with a federal system of parliamentary government and strong democratic traditions.

I would say yes. In theory, even in a constitutional monarchy, the constitution comes from the Monarch, and is of his or her will. This said, the monarch could regain executive authority if there was enough cause. This is actually the benefit of a monarchy. In Spain for instance, after the King was reinstalled, the army generals tried to stage a coup. The King asked all forces loyal to the monarchy to come to his and the nations aid. They overthrew the generals and because of the king, order was restored.
