- Not to be confused with the
US Republican Party.
"The end of the republic is to enervate and to weaken all other bodies so as to increase its own body."
Republicanism is a
Non-Quadrant ideology centered on a system of government that (at least nominally) is non-hereditary, and opposition to
Monarchism. Most of his views are dependent on context, varying from country to country. The only consistent trait has been hatred for
monarchist systems.
History
Republicanism is a political ideology centered on citizenship in a state organized as a republic, where the people hold popular sovereignty rather than being subjects of a monarch. Republics have existed since Classical Antiquity. Notable early examples include the
Roman Republic and Carthage. However, by the beginning of the Common Era, Carthage had long been destroyed, and Rome became an empire under Augustus, temporarily ending republican forms of government in Europe.
During the Middle Ages, several city-states in
Northern Italy established republican governments, such as Venice, Pisa, and Genoa. Though small in territory, these maritime republics were wealthy and influential in trade and politics. The
Holy Roman Empire also included many free imperial cities governed as republics with elected councils and mayors.
In the Early Modern period, the
Dutch Republic emerged as a powerful and wealthy republic following its independence from Spain. Around the same time, England experienced a short-lived republican period under the Protectorate of Oliver Cromwell after the English Civil War.
Republicanism took on its modern form during the
Enlightenment, which emphasized individual rights, popular sovereignty, and the rejection of hereditary rule. Events such as the
American Revolution, the
French Revolution, the Spanish-American Wars of Independence, and later the Russian Civil War contributed to republics becoming the dominant form of government by the 1920s, at least in Europe and the Americas.
Foundations
Republicanism is based on a rejection of any form of hereditary rule, whether
absolute,
limited or
ceremonial. The republic can be presidential, semi-presidential, parliamentary, one-party or non-partisan dicatorial. It is a broad movement, with the motive for abolition of the monarchy varying on the time period, the country and the situation.
Personality and Behaviour
Republicanism REALLY hates
monarchists and is usually seen attacking them. Acts as a mentor to
Leninism,
Jacobinism,
Ilminism, and other ideologies that explicitly oppose the monarchy. Hangs out with
Enlightenment Thought.
How to Draw
Republicanism is represented by the Red-White-Blue Cockade which was a symbol used for the Republican movements both in
France and
America.
- Draw a ball.
- Around the edge of the ball draw a red outline.
- In the centre of the ball, draw a blue circle.
- Colour the rest of the ball white.
- Draw the eyes, and you're done!
