Literal, complete democracy is - i.e. the people vote on every issue. However, we live in a republic, which is a type of democracy in which people elect representatives(who are supposed to be more informed on issues, among other attributes, than regular people - that's the hope at least) rather than voting directly on everything.

Yes, and in which there are certain things that the government is simply not allowed to do.
