That depends upon the republic created and the constitution that supports it. The Constitution of the United States of America guarantees the States a republican form of government that quite clearly embraces democratic ideals. The former U.S.S.R. was a republic forming a totalitarian state, as is the same as The Peoples Republic of China. Many republics are run by dictators and other republics are run by elected officials who run on populist views and eventually discard the republic so that the general will will elect him or her as a dictator.

The central idea behind the American Republican form of democracy is like the checks and balances placed upon the elected officials and appointed officers of the court, so are there checks and balances placed upon the people where the general will can not affect the rights of the individual. It is the republic that has kept the people from voting their rights away, and as the people continue to vote themselves plundered money, the first thing that will be thrown away, will be the republic.
