What you're talking about is speculation on what our government was founded on, not what it is now. Also realize that there is a very thin line between a democracy and a republic. In fact, as I see it, a Republic is the foundation of a Democracy, more of an overall, general term. Democracy is a more detailed perspective, regarding many more issues(it's a more complex system). However, that can be argued, as "Republic" and "Democracy" are nearly exactly the same. It's pretty hard to see the difference (for me), so my definition of it is based on speculation.
