We are supposed to be a Republic. The only reason we aren't is people became lazy and took it for granted. Now we have a democracy. A democracy is pretty much a dictatorship by the majority. A Republic is a country ruled by law, specifically our Consitutution. The founding fathers created a Democratic-Republic. This means that we are able to elect officials who make the laws on our behalf. However, we have let our officials do whatever they want without our control and consent. This wasn't the way it was supposed to go.

Democracy is better than dictatorship. It gives the people the power to decide, so they are not oppressed.

Side: Republic

Republic since there are more people in control and that a balance of power would be practiced.
