False. A Republic, by its nature, is guided by a constitution, such as ours which protects the rights of individuals and minorities. Democracies have no such constitutional requirement, allowing them to trample on the rights of individuals and become tyrannical.

That is a ridiculously... stubborn(?) distinction that fundamentally ignores many aspects of what experts call democracy, and many examples of modern-day democracies.
