"United States is a Democratic Republic..." Almost right, "United States is a Constitutional Republic." A Democracy is mob rule. Two wolves and one sheep trying to figure out what is for dinner. A Democracy is "whomever has the most votes wins." That is not our system. Each state is represented by "representative" who votes on behalf of a "group of voters." 10,000 voters, 1 vote. The electoral college, not popular votes, elects or selects the president. They base their vote supposedly on the popular vote. It's the illusion of choice. Welcome to fantasy land. :)
It's interesting to read the process that you and your family went through for US immigratiob, Lois. Especially since our coiuntries are so close.
It was fascinating and learning experience for me helping my wife practice and study for her Canadian citizenship. I definitely learned some things that I did not know or had long forgotten re: Canadian history!
Immigrating is a very challenging process. I'll be helping my wife get a green card soon so I understand the headaches you must have faced. The Kenneth C. Davis book sounds like a worthwhile investment to learn about the US!

Thank you for correcting this information, Jean-Baptiste. Proof that I am still learning new information about the USA every day.
Thank you so much for correcting me Jean-Baptiste. I’m still learning.
