'''The ~~Republican Form~~ of [[government]]''' is one in which the powers of [[sovereignty]] are vested in the people who exercise them through elected representatives. Unlike direct democracy or the democratic form of government, in which the powers of sovereignty are vested directly in the whole body of free [[citizens]], the republican form of government is a representative democracy. The [[Founders]] of the [[United States]] strongly opposed a direct democracy, or lawmaking directly by the people themselves.
