Democracy Vs Republic | What's the difference between a Democracy and Republic? Democracy Explained
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.

Video Script:
Scene 1
The word democracy comes from the Greek words of “démos” which means “people” and “krátos” which means “power” or “rule”, So democracy basically means “the rule of the people.”
Scene 2
Democracy first started as a direct democracy, in Greek cities, notably Ancient Athens, where people came together to speak about their concerns and opinions, in front of rulers of the city state, and directly voted on new rules and laws. Here is considered as the birthplace of democracy .
Scene 3
So, For the very first time, decisions were made by the people instead of rulers... but sadly, the ancient greeks did not see all people equally. Slaves, women, children and the people who did not have a land weren’t allowed to vote. This is what we call a “flawed” democracy today.
Scene 4
After the Greeks lost their power and influence in the first century AD, their early forms of democracy were also fading away until the Magna Carta was signed in 1215, which prevented the King of England to do whatever he wanted and said that even the King had to follow the country’s rules and laws which were written in the constitution.
Scene 5
Today, most democracies are indirect or representative which means that you can’t vote for a new law yourself, but you can vote for people who then become law makers and present your interests. But democracy isn’t just about voting; it’s about everything to protect the best interests of the people, no matter what is their race, gender, political opinion, or religion. These interests can be human rights, quality of life, infrastructure and many more.
Scene 6
Modern democracies divide powers into three different branches : the legislative (the people who make law), the executive (the people who make sure that you obey the law), and the judiciary (who judge you if you commit a crime). These three are independent and work following the process « checks and balances » which means all the work must be clear and fair. And, very important, the people who have power also must follow the law and not exceed their authority.
Scene 7
In addition, a democratic government must work in a way that reflects the wish /feeling/desire and values of the society that it governs—this is also known as the « General Will », which is a concept developed by the famous Swiss philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
Scene 8
One of the problems of democratic voting is that the biggest groups of people always have the most power and that’s why a good democracy also has laws to protect the rights of its smaller and weaker groups. A democracy where the majority chooses to separate, set apart, expel or injure its minority is not a functioning democracy!
Scene 9
So, with those mentioned above, what do you think now about democracy? Winston Churchill once said: “Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.” Do you agree?

Hello friends! Welcome to a new Happy Learning video.
Today, we’re going to learn about one of the most ideal and revolutionary ideas that man has created, today, we’re going to learn about a democracy.
A democracy consists of the idea that a country’s citizens participate in the election of who will govern them, and the political decisions that government takes. This is offered through the right to vote, when we are over-aged.
But Democracy wasn’t always like this, and it has experienced a long journey before becoming the way we know it today. Let’s travel in time to see how it all started.
The birth of the first democracy
The word democracy comes from Greek word, meaning citizens’ power. It’s an idea that was first thought of a loong time ago, by citizens in Athens, a city in ancient Greece.
It consisted of a government system where decisions were discussed and decided by a citizen’s assembly. The members of the assembly were selected by a raffle, and the decisions were agreed after a majority of votes in favour. But what is true, is that neither women or slaves could vote, they had no rights.
Some time after, the Greek’s democratic ideas travelled to Rome. In Ancient Rome, they started to approve laws and chose their governors through citizens assemblies. Although, if you wanted to be part of these assemblies you had to be rich, noble and very powerful.
The town couldn’t decide yet, it still wasn’t an authentic democracy.
In Medieval times, democracy didn’t exist. It was the kings and noblemen who made all decisions, they acted like real tyrants, like dictators who didn’t care about the rest of the Town.
This was until the end of the 18th century, where the French Revolution erupted. In 1789, French citizens faced and defeated the absolute Monarchy… From this moment on, the first real democratic ideologies took place in France, especially the right to universal suffrage, so, any citizen regardless of them being rich or poor, could vote and participate in their governors elections. Although, the universal part wasn’t all true because women couldn’t vote yet.
Over time, these ideas, democracy, travelled to many other countries where it was also established as the governmental system.
But, unfortunately, there have been and there still are differences and inequalities between people. For example, women couldn’t vote in many countries until the 20th century, and some races, like the black race were and still are considered secondary citizens in many parts of the world.
Democracies still need to be perfected…
Well, now we know democracy’s history, and we’ve learnt that it looks for general welfare and is based on respecting each other, and human equality, whether they are a man or woman, rich or poor, white or black. Everyone has the same rights, but the same duties too! So we have to respect the rules and norms set.
This is a Democracy, and in Happy Learning, we love this ideology because we believe in equal rights, (we believe) in respect and solidarity, and we think that nobody is superior to another.

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.

People often assume that capitalism and democracy are synonyms, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Why is that? And what prevents the United States from being the democracy it claims to be?
