An Important Distinction: Democracy versus Republic This expresses the mistaken view that Republics protect minority rights, but Democracies do not. Still, an interesting viewpoint.
Republic vs. Democracy at 1215.org. This expresses the mistaken view that in a Republic sovereignty "is in each individual person." A good example of muddy thinking to get a pre-designated end result.
