How did France become a republic?

Answer 1

A republic is a government in which voters hold sovereign power. Elected representatives are elected by the people and the representatives are responsible to the voters who elected them. The Constitution of the United States created a form of government known as a republic. It also created the system known as federalism. The Founding Fathers established the House of Representatives as the only representative body in the original first government under the Constitution. With the passage of time, the entire legislative body and the executive became responsible to the voters who elected them. The national and state governments each has specific powers and functions while also sharing some of the same powers. The Constitution made the agreement and any laws passed under the Constitution, the supreme law of the land. Three separate branches were created, the legislative, executive, and judicial. Each branch had specific powers while also having the ability to check the powers of the other two branches. The national government was given the power to tax and to enforce its laws. It created a judicial system in which the Supreme Court of the United States would have the final say as to the constitutionality of laws. A system of checks and balances tied the three branches of government together under the Constitution and the legislature became a truly representative body representing the people. An important feature of the Constitution was that it could be amended to change with the times.

I believe that the republic government in America was created in the 1780's when the Revolutionary War had ended and we were choosing a suitable type of government that would give people more personal rights.

Answer 3

The US is a republic because it is a sovereign state, it limits voting power to citizens, and citizens of a certain age, who then elect representatives to government.

It is a Constitutional Republic because it has a constitution that limits what the government can do by protecting basic rights, which protects minorities from being overridden by the majority.

It isn't only a republic however. There are widely diverse opinions about this, but many agree that the US (as designed) is a constitutional republic which still retains at least the core ideals of a representative democracy.

Since the United States has qualities of both democracies and republics, some call it a democratic republic, because it is a mix of both. Other people dispute this, some because they don't think that the country can actually be called democratic, and others because many countries have called themselves democratic republics while oppressing their people. Others believe that the country is moving toward an oligarchy. Likely, no government in practice is going to meet the philosophic ideals of any form of government.
