The United States
Is a Republic and not
A Democracy.
In this regard, here is an easy to understand and rather entertaining video clip that does a wonderful job explaining what the American form of government actual is, in terms of that which it is not; but which some of our citizens, either out of ignorance or intention, have our American government becoming in practice, if not principle.

[Rich Note: As this video clearly indicates, there is a very good reason the founding fathers chose to set up the Government of the United States of America as a Republic, based on the Rule of Constitution Law; and not a Democracy, based on the impulse and whim of a simple major, easily manipulated or swayed by the heat of a cultural circumstance.]
And yes, the Constitution is a "Living Document," not because it is should changed with changing times as some find it politically convent to suppose; but rather, because the constitution is based on Immutable Natural (or Divine) Laws or Principles that will always meet changing technological, social and cultural climates perfectly; and, thereby, meet "ever-changing times" with the same "Changless Principles, as a means of keeping "we the people" honest in the face of personal impulse and expediency.
P.S. Here's a link to the 28 Principles as they appear in W. Cleon Skousen's bestselling "The 5,000 Year Leap":
