A democracy is a government of the masses. Authority derived through mass meeting or any other form of "direct" expression. In a republic, authority is derived through the election by the people of public officials best fitted to represent them. Attitude toward property is respect for laws and individual rights, and a sensible economic procedure.Hope this helps!
