    A federal republic is a federation of states with a republican form of government. At its core, the literal meaning of the word republic when used to reference a form of government means a country that is governed by elected representatives and by an elected leader, such as a president, rather than by a monarch or any hereditary aristocracy.

      We have a Republic in name only, oligarchy politicians like the DNC and RNC only represent the monied class in government. We are left to fend for ourselves.
