itizen Republic is defined by a government where
authority is derived through election by the
people of public officials best fitted to
represent them. Attitude toward law is the
administration of justice in accord with fixed
principles and established evidence, with a
strict regard to consequences.
A greater number of citizens and extent of
territory may be brought within its compass.
Avoids the dangerous extreme of either tyranny
or mobocracy (a government where the lower
classes of a nation control public affairs
without respect to law, precedents, or vested
rights). Results in statesmanship, liberty,
reason, justice, contentment and progress in all
areas of arts, science, thought and civil
liberties. Republics are the preferred
structured base for government throughout Europe
and the Americas.
A republic is a form of government under a
constitution which provides for the election of:
1) An Executive Officer (Article II of the US
Constitution)
(2) A legislative body: (Article I of the US
Constitution) with the power of appointment and
through the power of legislation can raise
revenue and appropriate expenditures in addition
to drafting public policy.
(3) A judiciary (Article III of the US
Constitution) to pass upon the justice and
legality of their government acts and to
recognize and enforce individual and sovereign
rights.
(4) Expressed and enforced inherent individual
rights, (The US Bill of Rights (Amendments 1-10;
additional Amendments 11-27).
Remove one of the four checks and balances of a
Republic and a country begins becoming an
Autocracy.

Add another element with personal involvement
and individual say and the country slides toward
democracy.

If we look at America today (2007), we see that
items number 3 and 4 in particular are seriously
tampered with by the current George W. Bush
Administration. This means that the USA is going
towards an
Autocracy and will eventually end up as a
Dictatorship, unless We
The People do something.
