From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A republic is a form of government in which the citizens choose their leaders 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, James Madison defined republic in terms of representative democracy as opposed to 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, or which have governments that are described as "republican" in nature. 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. From Wikipedia under the

Repubs want to secure the region and create a stronghold in the middle east.

Basically, right now we still run everything by The Queen because every law that was made has to be run through by the governor-general first. & I'm doing this assignment for school, it's like Would we be better off being republic? It would mean that the prime minister would be kicked off, and we'll need a president - therefore making our government kinda like America's right? But some people say that 'If it's not broken, why fix it?'. So what do you think? Asked by f_lovesedwardcullenxx - Mon Aug 17 02:38:47 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. Do you really want some slime bag politician representing Australia? Also you wouldn't get rid of the PM, you would be replacing the Governor General with a President, so instead of the Queen appointing the Governor General, the electorate would, but that president would represent a political party, and have agendas which follow their party interest, which supersedes national interest. To become a republic is pretty much a waste of time and money, if you want my opinion anyway.

Q. I have to write a essay for school about one gladiator character and why the want either a republic/empire. I know Marcus Arelius wants a republic at the end of his life, and I have a few reasons but not alot. What reasons shown in the movie show that marcus wanting a republic? Thank you. Asked by jamie =] - Sun Feb 7 10:46:55 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Wow good luck as Marcus Arelius was not a gladiator and every thing in Gladiator is a hodge-podge of Roman history so it probably wouldn't be a good idea for a paper, although you could pick out certain accurate historical tidbits and focus on them. Spartacus-the story of a gladiator who leads a revolution of slaves against Rome on the other hand really did happen and would probably make for a better paper.
