in a democracy everyone votes on everything.
and 50.1 decides things.
Republics protect smaller view points.
Democracies are for the 50.1 to tell everyone else what to do.
That is why people that feel morally or intelectualy superior love to say "save our democracy" they don't want anyone else to have a say.
I guess what you just described applies to the US where it's almost exactly divided 50/50. It's understandable that the other half will feel a bit sad since they didn't get their way.
I'd be interested to hear about a better solution. 🙂 I think 50% is still better than just one guy deciding.
No. Republics make sure 50% doesn't dominate. it protects the rights of the 10% view point.
that is why the US is not a democracy and anyone saying it is. is trying to suppress the 10% view point.
The issue in EU & US is people are not correctly educated on civics and government.
This is on purpose to you can yell democracy all the time and rally people to force others to do what the 50.1 % want.
People across the globe need to study history more.
I understand that but I was asking if you could present an example. It can be a historical one or a current one.
Is the People's Republic of North Korea a good example of a working republic?

the United States is the most functional Republic. Ancient Rome was a republic until the senate was eliminated.
Okay... so, republics aren't democracies? What's the main difference between a democracy and a republic when it comes to voting for example?
