But they can go against the will of the people. That is not a democracy.

I have explained this to you before. A republic is a democracy. It is not a direct democracy. It is a representative democracy.
Republic- a state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives, and which has an elected or nominated president rather than a monarch.
Democracy- a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives.
Representative Democracy- Representative democracy (also indirect democracy, a representative republic or psephocracy) is a type of democracy founded on the principle of elected officials representing a group of people, as opposed to direct democracy.

It was formed because of low interconnectivity. It was very hard and long to travel. It has failed many times in representing the people. 22% of the population can elect the president.
