Question

question 16 (multiple choice worth 3 points)
which of the following describes the u.s. government?
representative democracy
constitutional monarchy
direct democracy
confederation

Explanation:

A representative democracy lets citizens elect officials to make laws on their behalf, which matches the U.S. system. A constitutional monarchy has a monarch (the U.S. has none), direct democracy lets citizens vote directly on all laws (not the U.S. federal system), and a confederation has weak central government (the U.S. moved from this under the Articles of Confederation to a strong federal system).

Answer:

A. Representative democracy
