I
Form of government in which a state is ruled by representatives elected by its populace.
The term was originally applied to a form of government in which the leader is periodically appointed under a constitution; it was contrasted with governments in which leadership is hereditary. A republic may also be distinguished from direct democracy , though modern representative democracies are by and large republics.
