Your second paragraph has a high probability of being correct.

Democracy? The people themselves vote directly on the laws.
Federal Republic? The people are divided into groups; the groups elect reptresentatives and those representatives vote on the laws.

Want to quibble about those definitions? Then original thesis of ColtonGang is wrong since either by these defintions or JLA's or any other reasonable ones, there is nothing that says wealth and money are not allowed to influence the outcome of elections.
