Was American ever a democracy? Or just governed by a set of laws?
It was founded as a republic, wherein only landowners could vote. What it's since been transformed into is as much a result of the duplicity of the elites as well as the ignorance and stupidity of the general populace.

Now it is the opposite.
No votes count, and land owners are penalized and prevented from even using their own land!
Never a true democracy. We were meant to be led by white land owners that other white land owners would vote into representation because a racially/ethnic homogenous society actually works for it's best interest, instead of the interests of the welfare state.
Probably kind of, when George Washington was still alive.
Even George Washington was tyrannical megalomaniac. Who can forget the Whiskey Rebellion? The truth is, the US government began violating the Constitution on Day One.
