    Can’t a system be a true democracy and a democratic republic at the same time? I don’t see how adding some republic detracts from the 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.”
