Questions: What is a Republic? - an alliance for combined action, especially a temporary alliance of political parties forming a government or of states. - a member of a political party that also goes by the name GOP. - a form of government where the leader is appointed by family lineage, religion or military action - a condition in which supreme power is held by the people through their elected representatives.

The answer is a condition in which supreme power is held by the people through their elected representatives.

This describes a coalition, not a republic. A coalition is a temporary alliance for combined action, often seen in parliamentary systems where no single party has a majority.

This describes a Republican, specifically a member of the Republican Party in the United States, which is also known as the Grand Old Party (GOP). This is not a definition of a republic.

This describes a monarchy or a theocracy, not a republic. In a monarchy, leaders are appointed by family lineage, and in a theocracy, leaders are appointed based on religious authority. Military dictatorships appoint leaders through military action.

This is the correct definition of a republic. In a republic, the supreme power rests with the people, who elect representatives to govern on their behalf. This form of government emphasizes the role of elected officials and the rule of law.
