[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The main difference between a pure democracy and a republic is in how decisions are made. In a pure democracy, all citizens have a direct say in the decision-making process, often through popular vote. In a republic, citizens elect representatives to make decisions on their behalf. In a republic, elected officials are responsible for making decisions that reflect the will of the people, rather than the people directly voting on every issue. This system is designed to ensure that decisions are made by representatives who are knowledgeable and have the best interests of the people in mind.
