  Republic - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
In the Roman Republic, the principles of annuality (holding office for a term of only one year) and collegiality (at least two men held the office at the same time) were usually observed.
In modern times, the head of state of a republic is usually formed by only one person, the president, but there are some exceptions such as Switzerland, which has a seven-member council as its head of state, called the Bundesrat, and San Marino, where the position of head of state is shared by two people.
It is not necessarily the case that republics are more democratic than monarchies or vice versa, since the powers of the head of state (whether monarch or president) may be purely ceremonial (although an elected head of state within a democratic system is generally considered more democratic than a monarchy).

The Constitution of the Republic of China is currently the basic governing document for the areas controlled by the Republic of China, namely all of Taiwan Province, and parts of Kinmen and Lienchiang counties of Fujian Province.
The constitution itself was drafted in 1947 before the fall of Mainland China to the Communists, and was in part drafted as a means of creating a coalition government between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China.
The Constitution establishes a presidential republic with a National Assembly and five branches of government (Yuans): the Executive Yuan[?], Legislative Yuan, Judicial Yuan[?], Examination Yuan[?], and Control Yuan[?].

And the constitution of the Republic of China, which was thrust upon Taiwan by a despotic dictator from China named Chiang Kai-shek, will need to be scrapped and replaced by a constitution that reflects the democratic mechanisms of governance implemented by the people of Taiwan, Jinmen, Matsu, Orchid Island, Green Island and Penghu.
China objects to such a concept, because unless an alliance with Taiwan is classified as reunification, China's claims of sovereignty and moral superiority are entirely without basis.
China and the CCP also face drastic economic consequences of a war, such as a trade embargo, tens of millions of unemployed factory workers as a result, a severely damaged infrastructure, and political unrest across the nation.

 Ex-president seeks new constitution - (United Press International)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
"In fact, it is completely out of date, not practical, not reasonable and not suitable," Lee said, adding that the current "Constitution of the Republic of China" dating to 1947 still claims to include the territories and the people of both China and Mongolia, in addition to Taiwan.
A new constitution must be created by the 23 million people of Taiwan to protect our own national sovereignty while not infringing upon the sovereignty of other nations, said Lee, a believer in a democratic Taiwanese nation.
"'The Republic of China' is an obstacle to the normalization of Taiwan as a country and an unsuitable title, one that our people cannot use in the international community," Lee said.
