My example is ACCURATE..

Republic: "A state in which supreme power is held by the people and THEIR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES (the department heads), and which has an elected or nominated president (the CEO) rather than a monarch."

Democracy: "A system of government by THE WHOLE POPULATION (you and your buddies) or ALL the eligible members of a state, "typically" through elected representatives."
