  Republicanism (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Beyond this brief sketch of the classical republican tradition, there exists considerable historiographical controversy—with respect to who the tradition's members are, and their relative significance; with respect to how we should interpret its underlying philosophical commitments; and with respect to its role (especially vis-à-vis liberalism) in the historical development of modern political thought.
In their interpretation of the classical republicanism tradition, civic republicans are often in debate with civic humanists, with whom they are often confused (see the entry on civic humanism).
The classical republicans, to be sure, typically confined the extension of this ideal to a narrow range of propertied, native-born male citizens.

 Review of Maurizio Viroli's Republicanism - BrothersJudd.com
Republicanism in its classical version, which I identify with Niccolo Machiavelli, is not a theory of participatory democracy, as some theorists claim, having in mind more recent sources.
Classical republican writers maintained that to be free means to not be dominated--that is, not to be dependent on the arbitrary will of other individuals.
Classical republican theorists also stressed that the constraint that fair laws impose on an individual's choices is not a restriction of liberty but an essential element of political liberty itself.

 ALISON BROWN: De-masking Renaissance republicanism
Yet because liberty was (and remains) an empowering word in republican political vocabulary, it is not so easy to put one's finger on the moment when the slow process of disbelief begins, engendered by a perceived gap between political reality and the rhetoric of liberty.
Because of its long history as part of the language of classical republicanism and the ancient rhetorical tradition, it is self-referential to answer these questions by studying only the texts themselves and their classical sources.
But we also know that this insignia was associated by Florentines with their open republican system of government, not simply with the city's independence, from the evidence of a political debate in 1465, during a brief interlude of more open government after the death of Cosimo de' Medici.

 911truth.ie :::::: The Irish 911 Truth Movement :::::: info@911truth.ie
Classical republicanism rejected monarchism in favour of 'rule by the people' and writers like Machiavelli proposed various versions of such a system of government.
Expanding on the concept of the 'sovereignty of the people' Jefferson wrote that the mother principle of republicanism was therefore that 'governments are republican only in proportion as they embody the will of their people, and execute it.' Citizens likewise had responsibilities.
There, the 'Republican party' was long known for its adherence to balanced budgets, constitutional government, a non- interventionist foreign policy and for keeping government out of peoples personal lives.

Republican or (in modern parlance "democratic") government is held in conflicting regard today.
Republican or democratic governments flourished in the ancient world before going into eclipse for at least 1,500 years.
Whatever else one may say about Machiavelli, it is certainly true that he revived republicanism as an idea and put it once again on the path to political possibility.

 The Second Amendment and the Historiography of the Bill of Rights
One group, influenced by the Classical Republicans, saw the establishment of a stable republic that could survive in a hostile environment as the highest priority.
While acknowledging that more state-centered Republicans emerged during the seventeenth century (largely as a result of the English Civil War and the Protectorate of Oliver Cromwell which followed), this view assumes that their ideas had been discredited in the late seventeenth century and were disregarded in the eighteenth.
The second amendment, in short, cannot be explained simply as a last avowal of the classical ideal, as "the last act of the Renaissance."[269] Rather, it is a bridge between the decline of that ideal and the rise of the liberal democracy.

 The Second Amendment in the Light of American Republicanism | The Foundation for Economic Education: The Freeman, Ideas ...
Given the differing origins and jumping-off points of classical liberalism and classical republicanism (the two most important elements), the American “synthesis” might be expected to undergo some unraveling when up against the harder problems of political life.
What is striking, however, is the surprising tenacity and coherence of American republicanism over the long haul, the persistence of its language, and the continuing relevance of its key ideas down to the present.
On their reading of republicanism, the community stands opposed, somehow, to those who make it up, and the people have “the right to keep and bear arms” only in relation to their duties in the militia.

 Classical Architecture in America: The Federal Style and Beyond
The classical world was the standard of thought and conduct to men of the Enlightenment; it was more real to them than their own world.
The study and use of classical antiquities was regarded as a means of penetrating the eternally valid truths, which were thought to underlie the superficial diversities of the visible world.

 Classical Republicanism and the Natural Rights Philosophy
Classical Republicanism is the theory in which the role of the citizen is to benefit the common good through civic virtue, or their dedication to government at any cost of their individual interests.
As John F. Kennedy stated in his inaugural address: “And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.” The basic element of Classical Republicanism can be seen here in his quote that it is the role of the citizen to uphold the government.
The American government is based on a contract, the Constitution, in which the Classical Republican ideal of civic virtue is juxtaposed with the Natural Rights Philosophy’s requisite for the Government to protect each citizen’s rights.
