It is also a democracy by definition of it's word. A republic just means that it's not reigned by a monarch in a monarchy. Which means countries like Nazi Germany, the USSR or North Korea all fall under the republic category. A democracy means that at least part of the power is in the civilian's hands, in contrast to a dictatorship where the leader/s of the country has all the powers for him/her/themselves.
Oh, and it is a constitutional republic... just because it has a constitution. Nowadays every country has one, but at the creation of the Unites States, they where among the first to do so. Hence why in those days being a constitutional republic was a big thing, but nowadays that applies for roughly 70% of all the nations in the world.
Edit: damn, ninja'ed
