America is a republic and not a democracy. There are limits on power. The majority doesn't always rule.

This idiotic distinction between "republic" and "democracy" is an exclusively American thing. It also unfortunately shows that you don't know the meaning of the words.

Surely the United Kingdom is democratic but not a republic?

Exactly. That's the non-idiotic, non-exclusively-American distinction that shows you know the meaning of the words.
Under the other concept, surely the UK is a Republic.
