Don't make yourself look stupid.Democracy = Rule of the People = Majority Rule = Mob Rule
Republic = Rule of Law
In a democracy 51% have absolute control over the other 49% of the population.
In a republic the elected officials defend the rights of all the people outlined in a constitution.
Why don't you look up the word in a dictionalry before posting nonsense:
Representative democracy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Democracy - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary
1 a : government by the people; especially : rule of the majority
Republic - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary
b (1) : a government in which supreme power resides in a body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by elected officers and representatives responsible to them and governing according to law (2) : a political unit (as a nation) having such a form of government
Republic is a form of representative democracy. You will not find a single definition that claims otherwise.
