what's the difference between a democratic and a republican gov't?

Answer 1

Understanding this is important because it relates back to the definition of Republic provided by
Black’s seventh edition law dictionary. In that definition, the distinction between Republic and
other forms of government lies in who holds the sovereign power.
Thus we have the definition of a Republican form of Government. It is a system of government
which recognizes that each individual is endowed by the Creator with certain unalienable rights
(sovereign power) and that the primary purpose of government is to protect the unalienable
rights of the sovereign people.

Although it may not be immediately clear, this definition provides a good beginning in
understanding the foundations of a Republic. The definition hinges on who holds the sovereign
power. And of course, the sovereign power is the ultimate power within the country. It is the
power that a King or Monarch holds over his country. It is the power of ultimate authority. And
the definition above hinges on who holds this power.
So that we understand, the above definition provides a contrast. It points out that in a
democracy, the people as an ORGANIZED WHOLE wield the sovereign power. It is majority
rule, or more precisely, mob rule. Mobs are easily swayed and controlled in their thinking. All it
takes is money and television. It is two wolves and one sheep sitting down to discuss what they
are going to have for dinner. In a majority rule government, the majority could easily confiscate
the property of one or more individuals if it were deemed that such a confiscation were beneficial
to the majority... mob rule.

Democrats want to fix everything. Control- as in, instead of banning cigarettes, which are very harmful, they want to keep the revenue going, and just keep people from smoking in their cars or homes.The Liberals are really Fascists right now.
Republicans are for having a constituents' right to choose their governments' rules. They feel that God is to be honored in their lives, so they do things to honor man, whom He created, and NOT help women degrade their humanity by pretending to fix problems with convenient answers ( furthering the economy Democrats think), like end their child's life before it begins' so that they don't have to give up 9 months of their life to do the right thing and let it live- in someone elses' house, if need be, because the woman, in doing so in the long run, will ruin her heart.
Democrats feel that this harms' the womans' right to her own body. What about the person that God put in their body? God doesn't give a person more than they can handle. Poverty isn't from too many people, it's from government policies.
They take from people who pay into the society and give stuff to people who have not contributed to the society, like runaway illegals who have a history of trouble. Again, gotta think of the cash flow.
Republicans act, not just talk like Democrats, and devour the country's morale just to be heard.
Positiveness is good. Reagan had it, and Bush has it. That is a leader of people.
There is definetely two thought processes going on, and right now it is very apparent that one says pontificate and keep status quo with power-the Democrats ( I never could figure out why poor people vote for them, because they keep the programs in place that keep them in control and in the money and have teenage ideas right now for problem-solving) It is for only prosperity, not for soul health.
The other is to work at solutions that are for the good of man, not expediency and control- the Republicans, who are more like the Federalists, the group that the founding fathers developed.
Gore is a socialist- they always try to get elected or further themselves- on an environmental platform, as a smoke screen for the real agenda. Everything equal, not based on Capitalism.
They don't feel that God can sustain the world without their help.
Plant trees and have men plant them, to make work, and Global Warming will be fixed. God said tend the garden.

Answer 3

Well, a Deomcratic government and Republican gov are similar. However, a Republican government deals with the people electing individuals to represent them. In a democratic gov, the people do it themselves. The US is a combination of the two.

Answer 4

If you are using the terms democrat and republican as non-proper nouns, the difference is that democrats believe that the decisions of the majority should always be enforced, whereas republicans believe that every form of decision making, including popular majorities, need to have some kind of a check on them. Neither approach is perfect, however a democratic system is more likely to commit errors of commission (such as electing tyrants like Hamas and the Nazis or fools like Hugo Chavez and Salvador Allende to power, or creating excessive bureaucracies and laws) and a republican system is more likely to commit an error of omission, such as failing to enact legislation that in retrospect was needed to fix a problem, or allowing their citizens too much freedom, which some of their people will likely abuse such as drug abuse (which I include things like alcohol, marijuana overuse and eating unhealthy foods), or committing crimes, or indulging in vices like gambling.

Answer 5

Nutshell - this could be basic... Republicans: Hate every person unlike themselves -- oftentimes they're incredibly wealthy white adult men like the adult men who sell stuff at Walmart, you be responsive to the Koch brothers who're billionaires and Paul Ryan whose corporation is #a million on the record of companies that earnings from Obamacare. confident, it is unquestionably a genuine fact. right that is a advantageous record..in case you hit upon anybody of them, then something will in simple terms follow... -- undesirable, disabled, previous persons, every person on nutrients stamps who desires to consume and can't discover the money for healthcare. -- Ex-militia veterans -- confident, Republicans ALL voted against militia retirement advantages in 2014. -- females. Republicans have continuously for the final ten years a hundred% of the time voted against females's rights. -- LGBT human beings, because of the fact properly they're all approximately gender inequality and unequal marriage rights. -- like to pass to conflict. Ronald Reagan and the two President trees went to conflict. With the all new and particularly stronger Republican Congress of 2015 we are probable to pass to conflict with Iran next... -- like to cut back taxes for the wealthy and screw the midsection classification -- Paul Ryan in February 2015 put in the latest Congressional invoice an unpaid for $ninety 3.5 BILLION unpaid for tax credit for the a million%. -- Republicans on the state point in 17 states replaced the balloting regulations so black human beings can't vote in those states.

Answer 6

Some, most will say not much because they are both from the same agenda, keep people poor and keep the rest rich. Aside from that, I think republicans are supposed to be more concerned with being a military, economic super power while democrats want to extent liberties, all sorts of liberties, to everybody, and be a sort of great society. They are all crazy though.
I think the freedoms are interpretted different. I think Republicans want the same laws for everybody while Democrats want different laws for some.

Answer 7

Where have you been for 7 years while we start wars with countries who had nothing to do with 9/11 and has constantly attacked our constitution for 7 years!

The Republicans have an idiot for an attorney general, who also is a liar, like Rove, the vice-president and the rest of them. They tried to get a Attorney General, who had turned his power over to another, Gonzales tried to get him to sign off on a spy program that the AG said was not legal! Bush instituted it without the required permission from the AG!

Answer 8

Republicans are the guys who figure they can get into a chick's pants whether they're a jerk or not, so why not be a jerk. It's easier.

Democrats are the guys who figure if they play the touchy-feelly type they can trick their way in.

Neither are worth the effort of a date. The smart chick knows this.

Answer 9

Democrats=more government
Republicans=less government
