WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A REPUBLIC AND A DEMOCRACY?

PLEASE ENABLE THE CLOSE CAPTIONS (CC) BUTTON ON YOUR SCREEN FOR SUBTITLES
Dear Aspirants
Really sorry for the sound of the fan disturbing the audio. I've included the subtitles. But coming to the point, a surprising number of people do not understand the difference between a republic and a democracy, and yet India calls itself a democratic republic. Let's explore these two concepts and get rid of any misconceptions that we have been carrying so far.

"Pure democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner" -Benjmin Franklin

[@peterthomas3554]

A perfect example. That Ben Franklin sure was clever.

[@bahhumbug.6156]

[@bepositive7691]

Republic is thus two wolves and a sheep with meat and grass for dinner.

Is there a functional republic in India at this point? The republic of the United States of America is crumbling...if I were to try to run a small business where I am (San Francisco), I would be sure to have my dick cut off and shoved deep up into my asshole come closing time the first night of business. Would I fair any better somewhere else?

[@abdur10002]

I had been in confusion with the oxymoron "Democratic republic" until I saw this video. Your video has such a detailed explanation when compared to other videos I've have watched in youtube. Thank you.

[@Barathian]

This is an amazing and eloquent lecture. I am from the United States which is technically a federal republic. I hope kids in our schools receive this kind of instruction. This video sums up in 14 minutes what most teachers try to present for a whole semester. I am going to share this video a lot. Her charisma and enthusiasm for the subject matter captivated my attention and made me feel excited about it as well.

[@Aryakpro]

Lier 😂😂😂

[@mehulgandhi8]

Initially by looking at the image of the video with the blackboard and chalk, I thought that it would dull or boring but surprisingly it was full of enthusiasm by the teacher. Please also explain the horizontal and vertical hierarchy. Vertically is self understood but horizontal isn't. Thanks for making this video. It is really helpful.

Got the gist of it. Thank you. Can you compare also socialistic form of government where it not only concerned with rights of the individuals , but also welfare of them. Also compare socslustic government with communist govt.

[@blacrow7]

In the U.S. we are a Constitutional Republic, meaning that our constitution governs the government to limit the power of the Government and to separate the powers of the Government into 3 branches of government, Legislative, Executive and Judicial.

[@mlungisimanzini8143]

Thanks for including subtitles!

[@JuenoMT]

Very nice... What's interesting is that the USA is a Constitutional Republic meaning that our constitution supersedes our democratic process. Unfortunately the liberal elements within our country have been working hard for the last 40yrs to erode and undermine our system of governance. They haven't been teaching in the high schools for nearly 25yrs that we are a republic - instead they've been teaching students that we are the oldest democracy in the world with no mention of our republic origins. Most Millennials haven't a clue that we are a republic - they think we're a democracy... It's a bit scary...

[@andrehunter8922]

Thank you!! I've been trying to tell people USA is a Republic not a Democracy. But on the news daily & news from reporters, you constantly hear from government officials "this is a Democracy" I feel everyone should read or re read Plato The Republic. Because we as a Nation is headed down a bad path.

[@altafalinaushad6368]

So true, democracies unchecked by law or the Constitution degenerate into oligarchies , and the tyranny of the majority. Just look at Venezuela.

[@altafalinaushad6368]

The founders of the USA were wise to dismiss pure democratic forms of govarnace. Your Constitution is priceless.

[@Gvjrapiro]

That's because the USA is a democracy, and a republic.

The term is often misused in conservative propaganda. We don’t say that we practice Republic, we say that we practice democracy in a broader sense. It’s a very deep subject.

As per my understanding is democracy means everyone has equal rights to select their representative And Republic means everyone is equal in front of law Is it correct ..?

madam ji, namaskar. now I understood the meening of 'demicracy' & republic. in our country the system of governing is "democratic republic" where as at u.k. republic only, and under umbrella of king(earlier queen).thanking You such a good lecture on a specific topic.🙏🇮🇳

[@tricorntom2254]

Republics also protect individual rights. Socrates, perhaps the greatest thinker of ancient Athens, was himself killed by a democracy. His rights to speak and think freely were not protected in the Athenian Democracy. Jesus Christ was also killed by a democracy. The Roman in charge, Pontius Pilate (who could find no fault in Jesus) gave the crowd an opportunity to vote for whom to choose, Jesus or a thief named Berabbus. The crowd chose Berabbus and Christ was crucified. We in America have the same problem, most teachers and public officials insist on calling us a democracy, though the term does not appear in any of our founding documents. In fact, our founders greatly feared Democracy, where a single powerful faction can sway the will of the people. Madison wrote about the dangers of democracy in Federalist number ten. Thank you for this, from the world's largest republic, India. I myself travelled to India and watched the Republic Day Parade in Delhi (or was it New Delhi, I get confused on this point). But for those Indians watching, it is not called "Democracy Day Parade." It is Republic Day. Thank you again.

[@ancientxwarrior7975]

I watched many videos and while watching your video I instantly paused it as soon as it started due to bad sound(very echoing and sharp may be due to bad microphone) but then I read the comment and thought of giving it a try(after reducing volume) and after some time (2-3 min) I forgot about the bad sound quality and sub par video quality, and now after reaching 5:42 I had to pause and comment to say you have real knowledge ,technical understanding and god tier teaching qualities but if you wanna grow on KZbin you should be investing in good camera(iPhone 13/14 will also work) and microphone(at least 10-20k or better and room without echo/sound treated) and better lighting and at least 1440p video quality(to get VP9 codec for better quality after KZbin compression)so that it looks modern and people click on the video (also better/catchy thumbnail) once they are in the video you have the talent to keep them.

Thank you very much for the short yet crystal clear explanation. 🙏

[@samuelchandrashaker2020]

President of India and Prime Minister are imuned/protected from eye of law by amending the Law. Further Late Indira Gandhi, PM brought an amendment to Constitution by changing the word "May" to "Shall " By this amendment President's powers became ineffective. Example: if any resolution passed in the Parliament President may approve it, the word "May" means may not also. While "Shall" means President has no option but to accept.

[@bepositive7691]

Thanks mam. After Google and watching so money videos ,the difference got clear now.

[@ezhilification]

Please discuss about democratic republic and republic democracy feature

[@db9440]

The addition of safeguards or not for minorities is not logically a part of the definition of a Republic. That's simply some additions that were made to the laws. So safeguards for either of them are equal to the laws that get passed. So they are not legitimately pieces of the definition of either, since once again, those are purely defined by the laws, as those "safeguards" could be or not be there, period, and it still wouldn't change the definition of either.

[@Others-fv6py]

Majority and minority means the voters but not the people belongs to different religions.

[@hansvandermeulen5515]

I am from the Netherlands. We are a monarchy AND a democracy. Republic and democracy do NOT mean the same thing but are also NOT mutually exclusive. It also bothers that in videos like this, the explanataion of democracy in general typically zooms in on one narrowly defined form of democracy, direct democracy or pure democracy. That type of democracy exists nowhere, although Switzerland is fairly close to it. Representative democracy is the prevalent form of democracy yet these videos redefine that as 'republic'.

[@ziraprod6090]

Nice statement.... Yes.... a representative democracy is equally bad. Constitutional Republic FTW. If you have honest people.... or quicker removals and punishments.

Madam can BJP change the rule of law by changing The Constitution , and can they remove right to vote for minorities?

[@ziraprod6090]

BJP??

[@omdubey6993]

Nice explanation 🤘

[@painandsuffer]

The United States as a constitutional republic is derived from an interpretation of the Constitution's provisions and the principles it embodies. The term is often used to convey the idea that the United States operates under a system in which the powers of the government are limited by a constitution, and elected representatives are accountable to the people within the framework of that constitution. While there may be similarities between different forms of government, the United States is specifically structured as a constitutional republic, not a direct democracy. In a constitutional republic, the government's powers are limited by a constitution, and representatives are elected to make decisions on behalf of the people within the framework of that constitution. The distinction is important because, in a direct democracy, the citizens participate directly in decision-making, often through mechanisms like referendums. In contrast, in a constitutional republic, citizens elect representatives to make decisions on their behalf, and those representatives operate within the boundaries set by the constitution. The principles of limited government, the rule of law, and the protection of individual rights are central to the concept of a constitutional republic in the United States.
