The principle of republicanism in the US Constitution was inspired in the Roman Republic which is a form of government in which people elect representatives that are responsible to create and enforce laws.

The elements that strongly reflect the constitutional principle of republicanism is that citizens have the constitutional right to vote for president and members of Congress, and this way they vote for the people that represent them and that create the laws that they are going to be submitted to.

Republicanism holds that the citizenry elects their leaders through popular representation.
The USA constitution provides for elections of leaders through the election process, from the president to the members of congress.
