America is a federal republic. And you're right that many don't realize that. A republic is a government that doesn't have a monarch - a king or emperor or whatever. It means the rule of the land is bound by fixed laws, not by the whim of a monarch. Other than that, there is nothing that says individuals control the government. The key feature of a republic is the lack of a monarch.
