Democracy, for example, is a way to legitimise a govermental structure by sourcing its power from the people. It does not describe just what that structure is, hence, democracy is only a form of rule. A republic, on the other hand, is a system of government, because it actually entails a certain configuration of political bodies. This is why saying "democratic republic" isn't a redundancy, as only by using both terms you will accurately describe the political situation in, say, Germany.

Overall, I felt like OP mashed the two categories together, but it's not really a large issue. OP is not very good when it comes to using his words right. Politics is politics to OP, and he is learning for situations like this. OP also speaks in third person often. Well, then OP knows better now. :3
