    You said republics are also called representative democracies. You also said the monarchy is the opposite of democracy.

    Those are both incorrect statements.

      You said republics are also called representative democracies. You also said the monarchy is the opposite of democracy.

      If you’re a monarchy, you’re not a republic.

      Where did I say opposite?

      I asked where did I say opposite. Not where we said same thing.

        I am not saying the same thing as you.

        You’re saying monarchy is the opposite of democracy.

        I’m saying monarchy is the opposite of republic.

        This isn’t a matter of opinion. You’re just wrong. Monarchies can be representative democracies. The UK is a monarchy and it’s a representative democracy.

        (But it’s not republic, because republic is the opposite of monarchy.)

          Monarchies can be representative democracies.

          I’ll leave it here.
