Which is also why it is a Republic and not a democracy. I wonder why people continue to call it a democracy even when they know that it isn’t. I guess it is just a sticky name

its a union rather than a monarchy.

canada is a monarchy and a democracy.

usa is a union of republics and a democracy

they are different dimensions
