Pros and Cons of a Republic
Voting
A pro of a republic is that everyone gets the right to vote. But sometimes we often vote for a representative who isn't good for their position.
Protection
There is law and order to protect the citizens. A con of a republic is that these laws can restrict personal and civil freedoms and it can be difficult to enforce these laws.
Leader
An elected representative runs a republic, this could be a good and bad thing. This could be good because the leader could be responsible, and know what's best for the country. This could be a bad thing because if the leader is a different party than the congress, they could argue.
