	The United States is a federal republic of 28 states, with its capital in a federal district, asserting sovereignty over eight unincorporated territories and Commonwealths. It is the world's oldest surviving federation, and, according to the World Economic Forum, the oldest democracy as well. It is a liberal representative democracy "in which majority rule is tempered by minority rights protected by law." The Constitution of the United States serves as the country's supreme legal document, also establishing the structure and responsibilities of the national federal government and its relationship with the individual states.
