'''Republicanism''' is a [[political]] [[ideology]] in opposition [[monarchy]] and [[tyranny]]. Republicans hold that a political system must be founded upon the [[rule of law]], the [[rights]] of individuals, and the [[sovereignty of the people]], all passed down from [[God]]. It is also closely connected to the idea of [[civic virtue]], the responsibility citizens owe to their republic.
Republican thought is evident in [[Ancient Greece]], particularly [[Athens]], but is most commonly associated with the [[Roman Republic]] and such statesmen as [[Cicero]]. Republicanism was revived during the [[Renaissance]], and became the driving force behind the [[American Revolution|American]] and [[French Revolution|French Revolutions]].
It is presently the basis of the American political system, which has been emulated world-wide.

* [[Cicero]]
* [[Machiavelli]]
* [[Rousseau|Jean-Jacques Rousseau]]
