The United States is a Constitution based Federal Republic.
A trained civil service who runs the government is a bureaucracy. Basically, it's a group of people who run the government but are not elected by the people, but appointed by the ruler or top official.
Democracy? No Democracy means all citizens have equal say. And because Lincoln was talking in the Gettysburg address about the United states of America, he was talking about a democratic republic not a democracy. A government of the people by the people for the people is in fact a statement of the very essence of the American form of Government a four part democratic republic with a civil authority, and three government branches Judicial, Legislative, and Executive. By the people we vote for delegates, of the people offices held by citizens, for the people, in the interests of the constitutionally protected freedoms of each resident of the USA
In the Federal government the legislative branch is divided into 2 components, or chambers. Proposed laws must be agreed upon by both chambers before they can later become law. The two chambers are the Senate and the House of Representatives.
Senators - each state gets 2 senators regardless of how big/small the state is or how populated/unpopulated the state is. Representatives - each state gets representatives based on its population; highly populated state = many representatives, very unpopulated state = few representatives
