State in which power lies with the electorate (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

republic

(Other definitions for republic that I've seen before include "Commonwealth" , "Form of government without a monarch" , "Type of state" , "Nation in which the head of state is elected" , "State without monarch" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
