| | Central Union of German Democrats |
 | | The activity of republican organizations was impeded by early bans imposed by the governments in Wurtemberg, Baden and Bavaria. | | | The association resulted from an initiative of the Marburg democratic union under the leadership of Professor Karl Bayrhofer who convened the all-German congress of democrats held in Frankfurt am Main on June 14 - 17, 1848. | | | After the middle of September 1848, when a majority of the parliament ratified the armistice of Malmö concluded by Prussia with Denmark, the central committee called upon the left to leave the assembly and to re-constitute a people's parliament as the leading organ of the revolutionary movement. |

| | Politics of Italy |
| | The 1948 constitution established a bicameral parliament (Chamber of Deputies and Senate), a separate judiciary, and an executive branch composed of a Council of Ministers (cabinet), headed by the president of the council (prime minister). | | | The president of the republic is elected for 7 years by the parliament sitting jointly with a small number of regional delegates. | | | Prodi's government became the third-longest to stay in power before he narrowly lost a vote of confidence (by three votes) in October 1998. |

| | Activists say and do to preserve the republic |
| | No matter for whom you voted, be they Republicans or Democrats or of any party, take a long moment today to fully appreciate that not only did you participate in our electoral process, but also that you live in a republic in which you can. | | | The supporting documentation comes straight from the words of the Founding Framers themselves in the Federalist Papers and in the Constitution, where the forms of government known as democracies were derided by the Crafters of the Constitution. | | | The Will of the People is carried out in a constitutional Republic based on the Supreme Law of the land, whereas in a democracy the mob Rules. |

| | In These Times * The Agony of Defeat |
| | Polls showed that despite similar overall favorable ratings for both parties, 42 percent of voters thought Republicans had a clear plan for the country if they won control of Congress, and 39 percent thought they did not; but only 31 percent thought Democrats had a clear plan, while 49 percent said they did not. | | | Public opinion, in any case, continues to move steadily away from the United States pursuing war on its own, even without much help from Democratic leaders. | | | Paul Wellstone, for instance, likely would have won in Minnesota, but the overzealous politicization of his memorial service by understandably distraught supporters hurt his stand-in, Walter Mondale. |

| | That means, also, that maybe many of the newest state of the art post offices go to States with moderate Democratic Senators; that they get first consideration for some defense contracts. | | | It is infinitely better to make these sorts of concessions, than to betray the promise of limited Government by which the Republicans obtained most of the votes they did have. | | | This will not prevent the more "liberal" Democrats from assailing Republican arrogance for pushing forward with an ideological agenda that reverses the trends of the immediate past--or from seeking to paint the new Administration as a "Minority Administration."
