A republic is a government whereby a restricted group of citizens form a political unit while a democracy is government by the majority.
Very simple. Democracy allows, or attempts to allow, people to govern themselves and decide how they will live. Theoretically no one is above the law in a democracy. With a dictatorship people are told what to do and how to live, and they have no say in the matter. It is possible for a dictatorship to be benevolent and a democracy to be unjust, but people will often choose democracy over dictatorship, if they have a choice.

The Founders of the United States strongly favored republican government over democracy for a variety of reasons. Fundamentally, however, they were suspicious of pure 'rule by the people' (which is democracy) because of its instability and difficulty alike; they deliberately chose instead to establish America as a republic, which combines some features of democracy with parliamentarian (and oligarchic) government for the sake of a 'representative democracy.'
In a strict democracy, every individual has an equal vote in decision making such as elections and voting on policies and laws. A republic is similar to a democracy in that a majority vote wins, however, in a republic, representatives are the ones who vote, not the public. The US is a republic, not a democracy. Elected officials in congress "represent" their constituents when voting on matters. Arguably, this is a more practical form of democracy in that individuals cannot be thoroughly knowledgeable on all matters that need to be voted on thus the results should be more sound. Additionally, a national vote on every matter would be impractical. The downside is that if representatives don't vote in support of their constituents, the decisions may not reflect the wishes of the populous.
Ancient Rome created a system of government that can be called a republic. This concept was lost to the world until on the beginning of the US republic of 1789. The Roman republic was based on a written set of laws. The most basic way to explain their republic is to say that Rome had two houses of power. One was the body of two consuls elected annually by the citizens of Rome. The Senate was comprised of the aristocracy and appointed by magistrates.Rome also had a judicial system.

He claimed that Democracy allowed people to follow all their passions and drives without order or control. The Republic set up guidelines for a utopian society and then Plato used reason and logic to explain why this kind of society could not function and why a democratic republic enabled citizens to have the most possible freedom.
