A republic differs from a democracy in that when a government is fully a democracy, that means voting and participation in government by all citizens.  A republic may limit voting and political rights to certain types of citizens.  Many republics in history, for instance, have limited voting rights to those who owned a certain amount of property.  Britain was like that for a long time, and the United States started out that way as well.

We think of the United States today as a democratic republic, because voting rights are granted to all citizens age 18 or older, but voters elect representatives who serve in the government of the republic on their behalf.
