From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A republic is a form of government in which the head of state is not a monarch and the people (or at least a part of its people) have an impact on its government. The word 'republic' is derived from the Latin phrase res publica which can be translated as "a public affair". Both modern and ancient republics vary widely in their ideology and composition. The most common definition of a republic is a state without a monarch. In republics such as the United States and France the executive is legitimated both by a constitution and by popular suffrage. In the United States, Founding Fathers like James Madison defined republic in terms of representative democracy as opposed to only having direct democracy, and this usage is still employed by many viewing themselves as "republicans". In modern political science, republicanism refers to a specific ideology that is based on civic virtue and is considered distinct from ideologies such as liberalism. Most often a republic is a sovereign country, but there are also subnational entities that are referred to as republics. For instance, Article IV of the Constitution of the United States "guarantee[s] to every State in this Union a Republican form of Government." The Soviet Union was a single nation composed of distinct and legally sovereign Soviet Socialist Republics. Niccolò Machiavelli described the governance and foundation of the ideal republic in his work Discourses on Livy. These writings, as well as those of his contemporaries such as Leonardo Bruni, are the foundation of the ideology political scientists call republicanism.

Q. Looking back to the Revolution, our Founding Fathers did not want our nation to be the democracy it has become, but a republic. Today, it almost seems republic and democracy are used interchangeably, but in the Revolutionary context, what are the actual differences? Asked by babylon - Wed Mar 7 19:53:54 2007 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments A. I believe that a republic describes a form of government in which the population elects representatives to make laws for them. In other words, it is a representative democracy, as opposed to a democracy in which all of the people meet and make laws. Of course, it wouldn't be practical today for everyone in a country to meet to make laws (except perhaps in the Vatican). So republics are the only kind of democracies we can have today.

Q. what confuses me is that when we elect senators to vote for us, we call it a democracy, but when romans do it, we call it a republic. when is it used incorrectly or are they both the same thing? Asked by sesshou0 - Tue Apr 28 23:08:38 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. A republic is a government in which the populace choose other people to represent them in the central government. It comes from the latin phrase " res publica", meaning " public affair". An indirect democracy and a republic are the same thing. :P Answered by Devon - Tue Apr 28 23:35:03 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "republic" |
