| | Republic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | States of the United States are required, like the federal government, to be republican in form, with final authority resting with the people. | | | This time the influence of the political thinkers, like Locke, on the emergence of republics in America and France soon thereafter was unmistakable: Separation of powers, Separation of church and state, etc were introduced with a certain degree of success in the new republics, along the lines of the major political thinkers of the day. | | | In the example of the United States, the original 13 British colonies became independent states after the American Revolution, each having a republican form of government. |

| | Reformist religious and antimonarchic doctrines were also contributory factors in the establishment of the Dutch Republic of the United Provinces (1648-1747) and the short-lived Commonwealth (1649-60) of England, Scotland, and Ireland under Oliver Cromwell. | | | Elements of republican government were present in the administrative institutions of the English New World colonies, but republicanism did not become dominant in American political thinking until the colonists declared their independence. | | | The establishment of the United States as a federal republic with a government made up of three coordinate branches, each independent of the others, created a precedent that was subsequently widely emulated in the western hemisphere and elsewhere. |

| | The Senate had some form of judicial power as well, although the Republic's judicial branch was the Supreme Court and the Senate's power in this area may have been limited to trying its own members. | | | Naboo's monarch appointed their senator, while the Alderaan Council of Elders elected their senator out of their own ranks (usually the heir to the Royal House of Organa, as the heir was also the leader of the council). | | | Palpatine became the Chancellor in 32 BBY after his predecessor, Finis Valorum, was thrown out in a no confidence vote in a wave of protest against his handling of the conflict with the Trade Federation. |

| | Rome: The Republic |
| | The Romans had at the beginning of the Republic a constitution which had laid down the traditions and institutions of government; this constitution, however, was not a formal or even a written document, but rather a series of unwritten traditions and laws. | | | The praetorship was originally a judicial office, but later became a military office; the praetors were essentially the central generals of Rome. | | | Eventually, the office of the censor acquired great powers, such as the power to dismiss senators from the Senate not merely for financial reasons, but any reason at all. |

| | Sallust's Republic: The Conspiracy of Catiline |
| | No individual ruled the Republic; its mixed constitution, famously praised by Polybius, allotted military and governing powers to a conglomerate of elected officials (representing both the Roman aristocracy and the plebs) and to the numerous aristocrats who composed the Senate by birthright and good fortune. | | | Rome's governing body deliberately exercised its judicial and legislative powers to enrich its individual members, a small minority of citizens; the government became "harsh and unendurable" (p.182). | | | And no wonder, when each of you schemes only for himself, when in your private lives you are slaves to pleasure, and here in the Senate House the tools of money and influence. |

| | The United States is an example of a federal republic, in which the powers of the central government are limited and the component parts of the nation, the states, exercise some measure of home rule. | | | The term republic formerly denoted a form of government that was both free from hereditary or monarchical rule and had popular control of the state and a conception of public welfare. | | | Today, in addition to the above characteristics, a republic is a state in which all segments of society are enfranchised and in which the state& power is constitutionally limited. |
