A republic is a form of government in which the country is considered a "public matter" (from the Latin res publica), and it is not the private concern or property of the rulers. In a republic, the affairs of the state are a public matter, and thus officials are accountable to the public and must govern according to existing constitutional law that limits the government's power over citizens. While citizens may participate in government through voting and elected representatives, they do not all directly participate in government decisions.
