The most basic difference is the size of the government.
Democrats believe in big government, Republicans believe in small or limited government.
The reason for this is because of how Democrats and Republicans believe a country should operate, and how big or small a part government should play in our day to day lives.
In recent years both parties have moved from a center political position to the extreme right or left of each side. As a consequence they seems unable to compromise on any issue that needs to be decided to run the government. The Democratic Party is has a platform that is more interested in the common good the people while the Republican position seems to be for the rich and to cut programs that benefit people who need them to enrich the wealthy.
So, sometime between the 1860s and 1936, the (Democratic) party of small government became the party of big government, and the (Republican) party of big government became rhetorically committed to curbing federal power.
A Democratic Republican was in favor of individual freedom foremost, and was less worried about government.
Left wing= Democratic Right wing= Republican
The answer is who holds the power.
There are several major differences between the Republican and Democratic platforms. The Democratic platform tends to focus on social reform and programs to help the people, while the Republican platform tends to favor less government involvement in the lives of citizens.
In Democracy, the people control the government. In Fascism, the government controls the people.

There is one main difference between a Democrat and a Republican, and it can be summed up with two presidential quotes. Ronald Reagan, a Republican president, once said "Government is not the solution to our problems, government is the problem." Bill Clinton, a Democratic president, once said "Democrats do not believe government can do everything, but we believe there are some things it must do." (Those might not be the EXACT words they said, but they're close if they're not dead on.)
The most important difference between a democratic republic and the British government at the time of the American Revolution was the citizens' rights to self rule and vote on how they would be ruled.
A Federalist wants a strong national government, a national bank, and large industries. While on the other hand a Democratic-Republican wants a strong state government, opposes a national bank, and wants small businesses and farmers.
