Was the Roman Republic the first republic?

Rome was probably the first recorded republic in the sense of government by elected representatives, which is what republic means. Ancient Greece had the most well known democracies in what we consider the ancient world, with Athens being the most powerful one. Unlike a republic, a democracy involves government by all the citizens gathering to vote directly on all legislative questions.On the other hand, almost all simple hunter-gatherer societies are small scale democracies, so the basic concept goes back thousands of years.A republic is a political system not governed kings, emperors, princes, dukes and the like. The term is derived from the Latin Res publica "public matter." Government is not considered the private property of the ruler and public office is directly or indirectly elected or appointed and not hereditary (though in some modern republics it is treated as such). Non-hereditary a key word. It does not have to involve elections. It can occur through appointment. Therefore it can apply to authoritarianism and totalitarianism. It can apply to indirect or direct democracy, the voting system is not what matters. It can involve oligarchy (by the mid-republic Rome had become an oligarchy).Athens had the oldest record of republican institutions (though the Greeks did not use the term republic) even before democracy because it had been ruled by nine archons. Sparta also become a republic, but it is not clear when. Carthage became a republic in the 6th century BC (before Rome). At the time of the establishment of the Roman Republic (509 BC) several Latin cities and the Samnites had republican institutions.


How did France become a republic?

A republic is a government in which voters hold sovereign power. Elected representatives are elected by the people and the representatives are responsible to the voters who elected them. The Constitution of the United States created a form of government known as a republic. It also created the system known as federalism. The Founding Fathers established the House of Representatives as the only representative body in the original first government under the Constitution. With the passage of time, the entire legislative body and the executive became responsible to the voters who elected them. The national and state governments each has specific powers and functions while also sharing some of the same powers. The Constitution made the agreement and any laws passed under the Constitution, the supreme law of the land. Three separate branches were created, the legislative, executive, and judicial. Each branch had specific powers while also having the ability to check the powers of the other two branches. The national government was given the power to tax and to enforce its laws. It created a judicial system in which the Supreme Court of the United States would have the final say as to the constitutionality of laws. A system of checks and balances tied the three branches of government together under the Constitution and the legislature became a truly representative body representing the people. An important feature of the Constitution was that it could be amended to change with the times.
