The key to the success of a republic like ours, which is a representative democracy rather than a direct democracy is the system of checks and balances.

Sixcard's description of our system as a republic is dead on. We are a representative democracy -- not a direct one. There are indeed good reasons for that because voters want tons of government services but are not willing to foot the bil for them. That is why California's government by ballot initiative is proving to be such a disaster for the state.
