Abraham Lincoln knew this when he said: "If you call a tail a leg, how many legs does a horse have? Four. Calling a tail a leg doesn’t make it a leg." This quote illustrates the idea that naming something doesn't change its inherent nature or reality. Lincoln used it to emphasize the importance of truth and the distinction between perception and fact.
A constitutional republic is governed by elected representatives and an elected leader (the president) under a system bound by the rule of law, as outlined in the Constitution. The Constitution establishes the framework for the government, protecting individual rights and limiting the powers of government. In this system, citizens have the right to vote for their representatives, who make decisions on their behalf.
