The United States has a republic form of government. This means the people choose their leaders by voting in elections. The leaders do not rule for life. They serve for a limited time and must follow the law. The government works for the people, and the people have the power to change leaders through peaceful elections.
The United States is also a constitution-based federal republic. This means the Constitution is the highest law of the country. It explains how the government works and what rights the people have. The word federal means power is shared between the national government and the state governments. Each level has its own duties, such as making laws, collecting taxes, and providing services.
The United States is a representative democracy. This means citizens do not vote on every law themselves. Instead, they elect representatives, such as members of Congress and the President, to make decisions for them. These representatives must listen to the people and can be voted out of office if they do not do their job well.
