	California Republic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The California Republic was proclaimed on June 14, 1846 when a group of thirty-three Americans captured the town of Sonoma and declared independence from Mexico.
		Though the Republic's Constitution was never repealed, the state of California was admitted to the federal Union two years later.
		A significant legacy of the California Republic is the State of California's adoption of the flag (which has a grizzly bear, and the words "California Republic" near the bottom) as the State Flag of California.

	Thirteenth Annual Envisioning California Conference
		Some have argued that this means the issues and candidates decided by the statewide electorate (governors and state ballot measures) may not be responsive to the needs of all Californians and, indeed, may actually be used to counter the demands of emerging populations.
		The essential core of a republic is the representative legislature: a group of citizens chosen by the people to make decisions.
		The spatial criteria for redrawing congressional and legislative districts tend to be highly unimaginative and staid: city lines, county boundaries and, in the controlling opinion of the California Supreme Court, the State's four "natural geographical regions" -- north coastal, north inland, south coastal and south inland.

	Tucci v. Club Mediterranee, S.A. (2001) * California
		In due course, Tucci moved for summary judgment on the grounds, because she was a resident of California at the time of her injury and the employment contract was entered into in California, that she was entitled to workers’ compensation benefits from California.
		The workers’ compensation insurer in the Dominican Republic is obligated, upon receipt of proof of an injury, to disburse funds irrespective of negligence.
		Tucci’s position is essentially, because she was hired in California and injured in the course of employment outside of this state, that California law governs and she is entitled to California’s compensation benefits.

		Thanks to the plans developed by the "Azcárate Commission," California's population of five-thousand would more than triple over the next five years due to this "influx," which put an immense strain on the local culture and infrastructure (what there was of it, anyway) of the territory.
