The current form of government in the United States is ???

Question

a-Federal

b -Confederal

c -Autocratic

d -Executive

Answer 1

According to the CIA world factbook, a Constitution-based Federal Republic with strong Democratic traditions.

Definitions are as follows:

"Constitutional - a government by or operating under an authoritative document (constitution) that sets forth the system of fundamental laws and principles that determines the nature, functions, and limits of that government."

"Federal republic - a state in which the powers of the central government are restricted and in which the component parts (states, colonies, or provinces) retain a degree of self-government; ultimate sovereign power rests with the voters who chose their governmental representatives"

"Democracy - a form of government in which the supreme power is retained by the people, but which is usually exercised indirectly through a system of representation and delegated authority periodically renewed."

Right now we are in the middle of one of those 'periodic renewal' states.  Answer 'a' is probably closest to our current (and ongoing) form of government.
