The closest you can get to that is what we originally had.

White male landowners who had actual stock in the country they were voting to rule.

Or

do what the Holy Roman empire did,

except on a much larger scale,

have inheritated positions of power which are capable of voting.

I'm asking more of a question about definition

is it possible for a republic to not have suffrage

It is not.

or would it just be an oligarchy or aristocracy

okay

@Hektor#9849 well how do you have a legitimate transition of power

without any form of suffrage or hereditary right

trial by combat

There's a lot of nascent republics that don't have any democracy

but that seems like a transition period

i.e., the English Protectorate, the French Directory

@Hektor and even if the leader isn't elected in a republic, the legislature almost always is

@Hektor#9849 Why can't I ping you?

Hitler was gay

ur mom gay

no ur mom and dad gay together

das right

@Deleted User Would they even be a republic if there isn't suffrage though? How can government be a public matter if there is no voting?

There are degrees of publicness and differences in how legitimacy is drawn

But you're right in that it's very hard to have a republic without a mechanism for public feedback

The examples I mentioned weren't monarchies

and relied on an elected legislature while not having an elected executive

I'll look into that. tbh I've never heard of something like that

my brainlet status is showing

well those republics were never intended to have an unelected executive

in fact the directory didn't even have a single chief executive, it had a board of executives

it's just that in the case of the English Protectorate, Cromwell and the New Model Army got tired of the Rump Parliament for taking too long to forge a constitution so he dismissed them

and each new attempt to convene parliament during his reign as lord protector resulted in the same deadlock

and with the French Republic and the Directory, there were elections for the directory, but suffrage was limited, and the elections were mostly rigged

then of course you had Napoleon as consul while France was still nominally a Republic

and finally here's an interesting plan: Bolivar wanted Gran Colombia to have presidents-for-life

with an elected legislature and a one-time election for each president
