Republic

The video explains the concept of a Republic, where power lies with the people and their representatives. It distinguishes between parliamentary and presidential Republics. In a parliamentary Republic, the head of government is separate from the head of state, who has ceremonial duties. In a presidential Republic, these roles are combined.
