It is particular to how our founders set it up vs how other countries got their governments.

It is kinda rare to find someone who understands what the words mean. The USA is not a democracy. Democracy is where the people vote on bills. The USA is a republic, where the people elect representatives to vote on bills. These things originated in Greece. The rest of the world only ever tried kingdoms and dictatorships.
