A minor problem I have to point out. A democracy is defined as a form of government in which the people have absolute control. This is sometimes called mob rule. What we have in America is a variation on a republic, or a government where people vote for people to make decisions for them. The legeslative, executive, and judicial branches are American additions to the idea of a republic and are not necessary for a reuplic to exist. Democracy and republic are often confused, but the difference is worth noting.

"...and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands..." American pledge of allegiance.
