Attached: maxresdefault.jpg (1280x720, 101K)

A system run by representatives of the populus.

A crypto-commie state mixed with some fascist elements but overall a shitty authoritarian idealism and short hand for tyranny

A form of government run by representatives chosen by the electorate.

non-monarchy

Political system where the maximum authority doesn't stem from an hereditary monarch.

public but the first time didnt work

bound to degenerate into something very fucking gay.

power by the people for the people

lmao

It is the «res publica», which means the public affair.

This is the only correct answer.

t. I have an MA in polsci

how're you handling the debt from your terminal MA?

I don't have any debt, I'm european

Based fellow European with a Master's and no debt

America

the public thing

what is the/a "state"

the absolute state of this board is a state, i tell you.

how do "rights" relate to "responsibilities"?

non-direct-democracy

is a republic good for you?

A spook

A government which recognises the sovereign rights and freedoms of its citizens as inalienable but also vital to its existence.

a disguised oligarchy

A system of dividing the meat of power between a pack of wolves, so that they roar and bite each other and do not eat the whole carcass alone; a counterpoint to the system of throwing all the meat for a single wolf to devour it whenever it wants.

The majority would will still be just flies licking that flesh in any system, but the division of the wolves forces them to worry about each other, while a wolf alone would be free to attack at its whim.

semi-democracy where the people vote for their representatives in government; who furthermore vote on legislation and policies of the state.

It's a room full of children squabbling over toy blocks where their strong militaristic father waits for things to be bad enough that he needs to intervene and get things on course again. A republic is a luxury afforded to strong men in good times.

Any form of government that it not a monarchy
