In this video we take a brief look at the difference between the two forms of government - democracy and a republic. We first do an overview of the two terms, and look at their general definitions. Then we look at the history behind the first democracy in Athens Greece and the first republic during the Roman Republic. Then we look at the common question of whether the United States is defined by being a Democracy or a Republic. We look at what the founding fathers believed as they met together during the Constitutional Convention in 1787. Lastly, we look at what a constitution is and how that unique trait of a republic helps to protest the rights of the minority.
