TPS60: Losing the Definition of America

On September 1, 2022 President Joe Biden delivered a speech on the steps of Independence Hall. There he described the American government as a “democracy” 30 times in a speech of under 25 minutes. The President used the word “republic” only twice. Is America a democracy or a republic? Why does this matter? Tune in this week to The Public Square® as we talk about President Biden’s speech and what it means for America.
