State laws, yes. Central gov. no
The idea for central gov (the 3 branches of government that are in DC) is that the people vote for whom they think represents their ideals and that person who the population voted into office will then vote on laws that are congruent with their home states ideology.
As for states it goes from the house>senate>governor>voting ballot
This of course is American democracy

No, after the establishment of a Presidential Democracy the preservation of the Republic will become the main purpose direction of and foremost priority of that Republic, inevitably eliminating the rights of its citizens in the paranoid campaign of preservation.
In theory, citizens only have a say through those that they elect. In practice, no, they don't, as opposed to direct democracy.
