The government is made up of three branches; executive, legislative and judiciary. The legislative branch is closes to the people because they have the house of representatives, which is made up of representatives for different groups of the people.
Local government is the closest government to the people. Steven Lundin wrote a book called the Closest governments to the people that details local government in Washington state. It is an excellent tome. Whether City or County government this is the place we can make the most difference.
The legislative branch is also considered as the voice of the people. It is where thoughts, ideas, and laws are expressed, considered, and formed.
The legislative Branch is the only branch of government where the representatives are actually directly elected by the people they represent.

Since you used the lower case "republican", I assume you are referring to when a country is considered a republic. The primary characteristic of a republic is representative government - citizens elect various representatives to some sort of central decision-making body, which then governs in the citizen's names. Citizenry does not have to be universal (or anywhere near universal), merely somewhat inclusive, to qualify as a sufficient base for political scientists to classify it as a republic, rather than an oligarchy (which is the closest form of government to a republic). In modern usage, "republican" also tends to mean "democratic", in that the government is both a representative form, and has a fairly large citizenry, where membership in the citizenry is not excluded by reason of race or religion (though, for some reason, we allow societies which exclude women as citizens to be considered "democratic").
