What are the advantages and disadvantages of a democracy vs a republic?



I’ve heard that the U.S. constitution forms a republic whereas Thomas Jefferson had a democracy in mind. What is wrong with democracy? The ignorance of the masses? Isn’t a republic just an indirect democracy?
Wow. Looks like I hit a nerve with this question. It might be too volatile a subject to get a straight, unbiased answer. Which means there probably isn’t one.
