A republic
0:12
is a state governed by the public, as they claim.

Its counterpart is a monarchy,
0:18
which is a state governed by an individual from a specific family,
0:23
namely the ruling or royal family of the state,
0:27
which passes down authority among its members.

Republics exist within democratic systems,
0:34
whereas monarchies are often found in dictatorial systems.

However, in the West, there are some monarchies with democratic systems,

As for actual authority,
0:53
it lies with the Prime Minister and their government, who belong to the party that won

the parliamentary elections according to the democratic system.
