A republic is a form of government in which the people, or some significant portion of them, have supreme control over the government and where offices of state are elected or chosen by elected people. In modern times, a common simplified definition of a republic is a government where the head of state is not a monarch.
The word republic is derived from the Latin phrase res publica, which can be translated as "a public affair", and often used to describe a state using this form of government. Essentially a republic is upheld by a set of unbreakable laws. Republics are sadly flawed in their structure. Republic must never be confused with Democratic Republic http://anti-nazism.blogspot.com/2011/03/democratic-republic.html a politically Superior idea. The United States is a Despotic Republic usurped by corporatocracy much like Rome before it.
