Venice

Venice was headed by an elective monarch; see doge. This makes the definition of republic as any state that was not headed by a monarch difficult here. Can it be recast with republic/res publica/politeia defined as principal sense of the last; "way a polis works; Constitution"? Septentrionalis 02:47, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

This page is redundant. There is mixed government and this page. They both mean the same thing. Why are there two seperate pages? I don't understand.

No, because you seem to be the only person in the world that holds this view. - SimonP 12:05, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"In a piece of high presbyterian cant that long was remembered, Cartwright wrote that the civil constitution ought to match the ecclesiastical, "even as the hangings to the house"...the architect had cribbed his plans from the decorator: he had built according to the classical-republican theory of mixed government." PROFESSOR MICHAEL MENDLE, Dangerous Positions; Mixed Government, the Estates of the Realm, and the Making of the "Answer to the xix propositions", University of Alabama Press, 1985.,pg 67

PLEASE STOP LYING SIMONP. Here is Prof. Michael Mendle who states that the "classical republican theory IS mixed government.!!WHEELER 13:37, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How many times must I post this stuff:

Republic—A form of government by the people that includes the rule of law, a mixed constitution, and the cultivation of an active and public-spirited citizenry. Political Ideologies and the Democratic Ideal, editors: Terence Ball and Richard Dagger, 2nd ed, HarperCollins College Publishers, l995. pg 267. Mixed constitution (or government)—The republican policy of combining or balancing rule by one, by the few, and by the many in a single government, with the aim of preventing the concentration of power in any person or social group. Political Ideologies and the Democratic Ideal, pg 265. "A mixed government, a virtous citizenry, the rule of law,--these were the republican ideals of Machiavelli's Discourses. If much of this sounds familiar, it is because this vision inspired the Atlantic Republican tradition--a way of thinking about politics that spread from Italy to Great Britain in the seventeenth century, and from there to Britain's American colonies in the eighteenth." Political Ideologies and the Democratic Ideal, pg 33. Classical republicanism emphasized civic duty and social cohesion. Founders and the Classics, Carl J. Richard, Harvard University Press, Cambridge, MA, 1994. pg 3. Sir Thomas Smyth in his treatise on English government of his time defined all commonwealths (republics) as mixed. De Republica Anglorum, 1583. ch. 6
