What is the difference between a democracy and a republic?
Democracy and Republic
The terms “democracy” and “republic” are often used interchangeably, but they have distinct meanings. In a democracy, citizens directly participate in decision-making through voting on laws and policies. In a republic, citizens elect representatives to make decisions on their behalf. Republics typically have written constitutions that outline the structure of government and protect individual rights.
