Examples

“The United States is a republic; Norway is a constitutional monarchy.”

“Perhaps the great charm of a republic to the young mind⟳ is, the career which it seems to lay⟳ open⟳ to all, and whose success depends upon personal gifts; while their exercise seems more independent when devoted to the people rather than to the monarch.”

““[…] We are engaged in a great work⟳, a treatise on our river fortifications, perhaps ? But since when did army officers afford⟳ the luxury of amanuenses in this simple republic ?[…]””

“Republicanism is the political principle of the separation of the executive power (the administration) from the legislative; despotism is that of the autonomous execution by the state of laws which it has itself decreed.[…]Therefore, we can say⟳: the smaller the personnel of the government (the smaller the number⟳ of rulers), the greater is their representation and the more nearly the constitution approaches to the possibility of republicanism; thus the constitution may be expected by gradual reform⟳ finally to raise⟳ itself to republicanism[…]. None of the ancient so-called "republics" knew this system, and they all finally and inevitably degenerated into despotism under the sovereignty of one, which is the most bearable of all forms of despotism.”

“The Republic of Udmurtia is west of the Permian Oblast.”

“The general adoption of the system for all free men came towards the end⟳ of the Republic.”
