If they had taken a basic PolSci course, or checked the dictionary:

Democracy = an entity where the people hold the power

Republic = a state where the people hold the power by electing people to rule for rhem.

So the constitution of the united states declares the US as both a republic and by definition a democracy, and a constitutional one at that.
