I’m almost 50. I said the pledge of allegiance every day. Our education system is so messed up that they didn’t bother to explain what it meant.
Hell, I’m old enough that I also sang ‘Zippity Doo Dah ‘ every day also. Plus, we had the strap in school. Teachers and principals taking their anger out on 10 years olds. That was weird.

I see many wrong answers here. From a politological standpoint the main difference between a republic and other forms of government is the separation of powers (judicial, executive, legislative) and the rule of law and not the source from where the rulers derive their powers and legitimacy. Democracy and republican form of government almost always coincide but not necessarily in every instance. For example you could have an oligarchic republic or a democratic monarchy (where the king is elected rather than passing the crown to the next in line).
