What form of government do we have in the U.S.? We often say we have a democracy, but a better answer is that we have a republic.
This video provides a good overview of different forms of government, including the difference between a democracy and a republic. It's a good video and I recommend it. It is about 10 minutes long.
Note: Scoutmaster Roger Allen brought this video to my attention, as he knew that it pertained to the Citizenship in the World merit badge that I have been a counselor for. Some time ago I created a web site for this merit badge. The requirements have changed since then, and I need to update that web site. But in the old requirements, requirement 7 was about different types of governments.
