Question

What type of government did the United States have in 1916?

Answer 1

Same as it has now.  A representative republic.

And Mel is full of it.

And we are NOT and NEVER HAVE BEEN a democracy.  Sometimes our government has been referred to as a democratic republic, but that would simply mean a represenative republic.  In a democracy, every issue would have to come up for a vote afforded to all citizens.

Answer 2

A democracy.  George Washington took office on April 30, 1789 as our country's first president.

Answer 3

pretty much the same it has now, although recently our country has been heading towards socialism.

please read The Constitution....dated 1789.

Same government...have you been sleeping in history class again?

Answer 4

The same type we have now, only with elected officials who loved America, and voters smart enough to know the difference.

Answer 5

Same as now, a Democracy.

Answer 6

Liberal progressive.

Actually I'm not, but you'll never hear a democrat agree with this.  Woodrow Wilson was a liberal progressive.  He started the first income tax, promoted labor unions, nationalized the railroads. This is liberal big government.  Tax and give to the people socialism is what he believed in.
