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.
