Question

What is the difference between a republican government and a democracy, according to Federalist 10?

Answer 1

A Republican government is a state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives, while a Democracy government is a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives. In a republican system, every citizen votes directly for laws, and, with a republican system, citizens elect a small body of representatives who then vote for laws.
