As far as I know there are two definitions of, "Republic", 1. A state
where supreme power is held by the people, or their elected
representatives, or by an elected or nominated president. 2. Literally it
means a society with equality between its members.

Does it 'literally' not mean a 'public thing', or 'a thing of the people'
(from your actual Latin 'res publicae')?
