well, its basically the same, but like i said in a democracy you vote directly for the president, and you vote actually goes torward it. but in a republic the  electoral college looks at your vote then decides to vote depending what they thought of those votes.

like how in 2004 bush lost the votes,but got more electoral votes therefore he won.

Actually America is both democratic and a republic. All being a republic means is that your countries head of state is not a monarch.

So yeah, America is a democratic republic.
