What are some similarities between a republic government and an autocracy government?

Question

anonymous · Answer

An autocracy is a form of government in which the political power is held by a single individual.One person posses unlimited power and the citizens have limited power, if any, in the government.

A republic is a form of government in which the country is considered a "public matter" (Latin: res publica), not the private concern or property of the rulers, and where offices of states are subsequently directly or indirectly elected or appointed rather than inherited. In modern times, a common simplified definition of a republic is a government where the head of state is not a monarch.

so i don't think so there are similarities??
