LET'S PLAY: NAME THE FORM OF YOUR GOVERNMENT!!!!!

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

You go first.

I'm sure all those who come close to "naming your form of government" will get the DING-DING-DING.

[spoony]

1. oligarchy?

Just the first thing that popped into my head

[Maddy McCall]

5. plutocratic oligarchy, maybe?

LOL...I like that. :thumbsup:

[Maddy McCall]

2. US: Republic with representative democratic system.

Or, as some people say, a democratic republic.

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

15. Really?

If those who are suppose to be 'representing' you are intentionally manipulating/defrauding/deceiving you,...then, what is the system of government called?

[Maddy McCall]

That IS the system of government.

The fact that many representatives are not representing their constituents does NOT change the fact that the US is a democratic republic.

What would you propose that would be better than the one provided by the constitution?

A parliamentary system is just another form of representative government - a more democratic one if you ask me, representing a wider range of ideologies.
