A Republic is small limited government, where the people are served rather than regulated, represented rather that ruled.
No. A republic is a representative government of some kind, in which governing officials are chosen by the votes of constituents. It may be large or it may be small, and the people may or may not be served. The Soviet Union was a republic, but it was also a big government in which the people had little voice.
A Democracy is a large government, with entitlements to the people and where the people and businesses are regulated.
No. A democracy is a government in which all citizens participate by majority vote, either directly (as in ancient Athens) or through representatives (as in the United States today).
Actually, your definitions have nothing to do with the usual and normal meanings of either word.
I thought you realized We are talking about America.
After all the thread was -is the U.S. a Democracy.
My definitions are about why America is a Republic and not a Democracy,as explained by our Founders words and was taught by our schools.
and you'd be wrong about that, too. because what you're saying makes zero sense. the definitions that i gave apply to our form of government.
you just like the idea of applying false definitions that you think support your extremist rightwing views.
