confederation is an agreement between two or more states to have a common policy for certain subjects like foreign affairs, defense etc. the cabinet mission plan of 1946 advocated this form of system for pakistan and india. federation is a group of partially self-governing provinces/states unified to form a single state. confederation is loosely held while federation is not.
republican system refers to representative form of government. a republican form of government has representatives to govern on behalf of people. now this form of government may profess democratic or totalitarian ideals. in the former condition, people elect their representatives who govern according to their wishes. i'm not sure but i think republican system also indicates the presence of a President. regards,

Democracy does constitute everything that republicanism has but all republicanism , is not democracy. The republican form of government is one form of democracy, though it is not necessary that every democratic government has to be republican. Britain provides democracy, but its government is not republican. A number of constitutional monarchies are democratic systems, but they are not republican. The affinities between democracy and republicanism can not be denied. Both seek to establish popular sovereignty; both are representative in character; both respect man's personality as the measure of human development; both regard man's rights and liberties as essential for man's progress; both consider elective government responsive to public opinion; both lay emphasis on accountability of the rulers towards the ruled.
And yet. there is much that separates republicanism and democracy Democracy is the rule of majority over minority lacking the safeguards of rights of the individual and those belonging to minority: republicanism is also the rule of majority but it is a majority which is limited. as against unlimited majority in a democracy. Republicanism assures safeguards of the rights of the minority as well as of the individual. Democracy is the rule of omnipotent majority where there is no protection against its unlimited powers: it is unlimited tyranny of majority.Republicanism ensures the rule of majority, the majority which is itself controlled: it is a continually limited government of representative type,one which is changeable through amendment,a govcnimcnt where powers arc divided between three organs - legislature. executive and judiciary.each controlling the other two so as to keep each organ in balance with another.

well dear Republican form of government is that one where the head of the state is an elected president. Democratic form is simple that is based on the democratic principles like participation of the people in the state affair like election of representatives. USA.....here is democratic form of government as well as Republican form.... the head of the state is an elected president and the presedint is directly elected by the people. thanx

Islah_G;
you are right. i also think the term indicates both representative system and seat of president. but it's not just the latter. the star's post also agrees with my account. thanks a lot. regards,
