You can have laws protecting minority groups and individuals in a democracy
Not if the majority votes against them. In a democracy the majority rules. Our republic has courts that can overturn such laws. A democracy has no such court.

We have courts because our constitution calls for it.
Its not a requirement of a democracy or a republic and it’s not precluded from either.
Our current system could do away with it theoretically. We just don’t.
