REPUBLIC
Republic, (n.)
A nation in which, the thing governing and the thing governed being the same, there is only a permitted authority to enforce an optional obedience. In a republic, the foundation of public order is the ever lessening habit of submission inherited from ancestors who, being truly governed, submitted because they had to. There are as many kinds of republics as there are graduations between the despotism whence they came and the anarchy whither they lead.

\re*pub"lic\ (r?-p?b"l?k), n. [f. république, l. respublica commonwealth; res a thing, an affair + publicus, publica, public. see real, a., and public.]

2. a state in which the sovereign power resides in the whole body of the people, and is exercised by representatives elected by them; a commonwealth. cf. democracy, 2.
note: in some ancient states called republics the sovereign power was exercised by an hereditary aristocracy or a privileged few, constituting a government now distinctively called an aristocracy. in some there was a division of authority between an aristocracy and the whole body of the people except slaves. no existing republic recognizes an exclusive privilege of any class to govern, or tolerates the institution of slavery.

Republic Definition from Law Dictionaries & Glossaries

Republic, Republican Government
REPUBLIC - A commonwealth; that form of government in which the administration of affairs is open to all the citizens. In another sense, it signifies the state, independently of its form of government. In this sense, it is used by Ben Johnson. Those that, by their deeds make it known, whose dignity they do sustain; And life, state, glory, all they gain, Count the Republic's, not their own.
REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT - A government in the republican form; a government of the people; it is usually put in opposition to a monarchical or aristocratic government.
The fourth section of the fourth article of the constitution, directs that "the United States shall guaranty to every state in the Union a republican form of government." The form of government is to be guaranteed, which supposes a form already established, and this is the republican form of government the United States have undertaken to protect.
This entry contains material from Bouvier's Legal Dictionary, a work published in the 1850's.

Republic
Originally, any form of government not headed by an hereditary monarch. In modern American usage, the term usually refers more specifically to a form of government (a.k.a. "representative democracy") in which ultimate political power is theoretically vested in the people but in which popular control is exercised only intermittently and indirectly through the popular election of government officials and/or delegates to a legislative assembly rather than directly through frequent mass assemblies or legislation by referendum.
