Government by the people is a democracy (a republic in the US).
Branch of government that carries out laws is the Executive Branch.
Hope this helps.

What exactly is your question?
A government "ruled be the people" is technically a republic. Much like ancient Rome, Benjamin Franklyn and the other founding fathers created our government mostly from the writings of Marcus Tulius Cicero, a Roman senator during the time of Caesar also from texts written by Machiavelli.
The part of the Federal government that "carries out the law" is the Judicial and their strong arm the FBI. For state governments it’s the Judicial and the police.
I hope that helps.

Excuse me Children! Democracy is of the people & a true democracy would utilize the Majority rule & control effects! A Republic can vary in extremes like USA who is supposed to use Democratic process with legitimate elections using representative government to legislate law! This actually is faked currently, fooling the public into believing they have a Democracy, when infact Fascist corporate Capitalism rules with an iron fist. Then you have China at the other extreme end of Republics that don't fake a show & tell political process you have to be in the bloodline to rise from the peasants!

Well technically a government ruled by the people or rather by representatives elected by the people is a Republic, which is what we are.

Ordinarily, it would be called a Democracy; we live in a supposed democratic republic but, it is nothing more than a misnomer for what it really is, in practice and by defnition: a PLUTOCRACY.
The people of the USA do NOT elect or nominate who they want to run for public office; that is determined by party bosses, often with nefarious intentions and hidden political agendas. The political bosses represent the interests of the super rich and powerful, not the voting public. Our tax monies are squandered and mismanaged and we, the voting public and taxpayers, have no voice in the matter at any given time. We supposedly have a Constitution but our Constitutional rights, freedoms and liberties are constantly being abused and breached by those in power (illegal searches, clandestine prisons, encarceration without formal charges being formally brought against one in a public court, prisoners prevented from having legal counsel and thus preventing the prisoner from proving his/her innocence, torturing, illegal wire-taps, spying on people in public and keeping tabs on what books we read or borrow in public libraries, intercepting and opening mail, etc. Those acts that are prohibited by the Constitution require a court order to prevent political enemies from being persecuted and taken unfair advantage of, as the founders of this great nation of ours anticipated!
The Judicial system as well as the executive system in our government has been corrupted by cronies put in position of power, who answer not to the Law of the Land (The Constitution) but to an elected politician ("elected" not often by the people but placed in office by nefarious means, as evident by Dubya in 2000 in Florida and in Ohio and several other states with the rigged electronic voting machines).
So, the term, "democratic republic" is nothing more than a joke perpetrated on the public by the super rich and powerful that control whatever candidate the public "elects."
