Monarchy: a system of government in which power is invested in a single person, based on hereditary bloodlines and personal (often military) virtues and honors. Monarchies can have different kinds of power-sharing arrangements: they are often supported by aristocracies, castes, or other elite hereditary groups who act as military leaders and allow the monarch to extend political control over larger areas; they are sometimes bound by constitutions or rules that limit their power. But the key element of any monarchy is that power is based in individual virtue, virtue which is ritualized into an inheritable trait.
Republic: a system of government in which power is distributed across the entire population through a system of representative bodies and offices. Representatives can be chosen in a wide variety of ways — elections, lottery, family sinecure, appointment, rotation, etc — and different bodies and offices within the republic might have more or less or different power and influence. But the key element of a republic is the selection of elite bodies meant to represent the interests of different segments of society (and sometimes the interests of abstractions like justice or expedience), thus distributing power broadly.
Monarchies and republics are not mutually exclusive, obviously. For example, the current British system is called a constitutional monarchy, but might equally well be described as a monarchical republic. Republics sometimes devolve into tyrannies or dictatorships, in which an individual seizes power and eliminates or subverts the representative bodies or offices so that he can exercise his will without restriction. But tyrannies differ from monarchies because power is not legitimized by personal virtue or ancestry; it is defined oligarchically, by wealth and economic control. In fact, tyrants and dictators are often demagogues who style themselves conventionally as ‘common men,’ despite their self-evident wealth and power
Answer:
A republic has an elected head of state called a president. A monarchy has an unelected head of state called a monarch, who will pass the position down to their child.
