Officially? I would say the constitution declared it so. Prior to that the
colonies had written charters with the king.

REPUBLIC. A commonwealth; that form of government in which the administration
of affairs is open to all the citizens. In another sense, it signifies the
state, independently of its form of government. 1 Toull. n. 28, and n. 202,
note. In this sense, it is used by Ben Johnson. Those that, by their deeds
make it known, whose dignity they do sustain; And life, state, glory, all
they gain, Count the Republic's, not their own, Vide Body Politic; Nation;
State.
REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT. A government in the republican form; a government of
the people; it is usually put in opposition to a monarchical or aristocratic
government.
2. The fourth section of the fourth article of the constitution, directs that
"the United States shall guaranty to every state in the Union a republican
form of government." The form of government is to be guarantied, which
supposes a form already established, and this is the republican form of
government the United States have undertaken to protect. See Story, Const.
§1807.

What is a republic. Most internet definitions state the power rests with the
people. Some go farther and state that It includes representatives or by
individual. Judge Nalipano says It is division of power. Both those
definitions describes the colonies as they all had their on constitutions.
Divided and represented. Divided as each individual insisted they were king
of their property. As the king of Britain moved over enforcing the crown the
people boiled.
The Constitution of the United States of America made that point very clear
that we are a republic in article 1,8,17. That jurisdicton or authority
belongs to the owner of the property. Very divided and rests in the people
since the government is very restricted to what it can own.
