What is Democratic republic?
A democratic republic is a form of government that combines elements of both democracy and republicanism. In simple terms: Democratic: The government is chosen by the people through elections, ensuring that citizens have a say in decision-making. Republic: The country is governed by elected representatives and a constitution, rather than a monarch or dictator. Example: INDIA 1. Democratic – Citizens elect their leaders through free and fair elections. 2. Republic – The head of state (President) is elected, and the country follows a constitution. In short, a democratic republic means a country where the people have the power to elect their leaders, and those leaders govern according to a set of laws (constitution) rather than hereditary rule. == Various countries == *[[Democratic Republic of the Congo]] *[[Algeria|People's Democratic Republic of Algeria]] *[[Nepal|Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal]] *[[Sri Lanka|Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka]] *[[Somali Democratic Republic]] *[[Democratic Republic of Vietnam]] *[[Yemen|People's Democratic Republic of Yemen]] *[[Democratic Republic of Georgia]] *[[Azerbaijan Democratic Republic]] *[[Lao People's Democratic Republic]] *[[Afghanistan|Democratic Republic of Afghanistan]] *[[German Democratic Republic]] (not a country anymore) *[[Democratic Kampuchea]] *[[Democratic People's Republic of Korea]] *[[Ethiopia|People's Democratic Republic of Ethiopia]] *[[Ethiopia|Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia]] *[[East Timor|Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste]] *[[São Tomé and Príncipe|Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe]] {{politics-stub}} [[Category:Forms of government]] [[Category:Democracy]]
