A republic is the rule of law: the rulers are included in a body of citizens from whom leaders are selected and all people are subject to the laws enacted by that body. A democracy is a regime type where power and legitimacy of power rests directly with the people; they select, check, and are represented by themselves as opposed to any singular social group (e.g.) nobility, monarchy, etc.)
