I appreciate your opinion. However, the question is refering to what the founding fathers had in mind when they set up the country. Thanks.

In that case it's badly worded.

There were four choices, duh!!!!!!

The question is badly worded.

Reading comprehension, much?

I guess, because I understood it perfectly. "Fascist" and "Monarchy" is just silliness.

Seriously. Reading comprehension. Look into it.

I agree. The sentence structure is poor. Nonetheless, based on the multiple choice answers offered most of us were able to "comprehend" what the person was asking! I am sorry you did not. Oh, well, much ado about nothing. I'm finished here.

While you're researching reading comprehension, you might also want to look up quotation marks, as you don't seem to understand what they're for or how they're used.

Good luck with your education.

My, my!

If that's what you wanted to ask, that's what you should have asked. I think people will answer it in terms of how it seems right now, not what the founders intended.

wrong--as indicated by the "legitimate" answers. People just plain got it wrong---sad.

representative republic

"...and to the REPUBLIC, for which it stands..."

absolutely a representative republic.

Democracy.

A Flawed Democracy

Fascist

It's a representative republic, but you'd never know it with the way the Supreme Court dictates laws with no Constitutional basis for their power.

man is that sad-- half of Americans (according to this) don't know what kind of government they have.
