Short version: Republic: Individual and minority rights trump majority rule. Democracy: The majority can do whatever they like to the minority. Power is everything. Rights are nothing.
Democracy: inclusive meaning anyone with a pulse can participate with no restrictions.
Republic: exclusive association where only the members (citizens) have a right to participate.
