What are the concepts of a republic or republican argument? The Federalist No. 39 goes on to define the concept of a republic

The Framer’s of the Constitution had certain type of government and how it would run in their minds while they constructed what is now our Constitution. Though we the people believe we are run by a democratic government, the real intent by these Framer’s was the make the establishment more of a republic than that of a democracy.
