the choices: anarchy, democracy, republic, oligarchy, dictatorship

the word 'democracy' does NOT appear at all in the declaration of independence, the bill of rights, or the consitution of the united states of america.  not one time!

james madison, the father of the constitution, said that democracy is dangerous and we should not have it.

ben franklin, when asked what kind of government we have, replied "a republic, if you can keep it"

yet, most people have been told and taught that we are a democracy, we have always been a democracy, and that it is not only good, but needs to be exported around the world.

someone please explain me
