For all practical purposes the United States was the first republican form of government in the modern world. Ancient republics in ancient Rome were nothing like the new federal government. In comparison to the monarchies or other forms of modern governments of the 18th century, the US republic gave Americans rights never seen in the 18th century. The current US Constitution is the oldest one in today's world.
