US Democracy is a type of liberalism, which was created as a reaction to mercantilism and monarchies. Basically means "individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise." which... US Democracy doesn't lmao.

Different word from liberal and conservative. Kind of like "mankind" doesn't just refer to men.
