Question

republic
the ancient greeks inspired the american government, but the framers (people who founded the american government) were wary of the problem in athens, where persuasive leaders could lead the people to make poor decisions. to avoid chaos, they looked to the roman republic for guidance. it had a system with appointed leaders and three representative bodies, including the powerful senate. the framers liked this setup because it spread power among different groups and avoided having it concentrated in one place.
the u.s. government is a republic, a type of representative democracy where the president is the elected head of state. in a presidential democracy like the u.s., congress makes laws, and the president enforces them. other examples of republics, besides the united states are mexico and france. however, not all countries that call themselves a republic are truly democratic. iran, pakistan, and angola for example, are really dictatorships.
parliamentary democracy
in a parliamentary democracy, such as in britain, the prime minister is both the head of government and a member of the legislature. other countries with parliamentary systems include canada and japan.
