| republic | 1. Common weal. 2. A state in which the sovereign power resides in the whole body of the people, and is exercised by representatives elected by them; a commonwealth. Cf. Democracy.

Republique, L. Respublica commonwealth; res a thing, an affair + publicus, publica, public. See Real, and Public. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
