	Republics - History for Kids!
		In a republic, instead of voting directly about what they want to do, as in a democracy, people instead vote for people to represent them, and those people decide what to do.
		The first republic was the Roman Republic, which was founded about 509 BC, just about the same time as the first democracy in Athens.
		The republic was a lot more efficient than the democracy, because most men who could vote only needed to vote in the big elections, and the rest of the time they could be at work.

	Plato's Republic
		The word "republic" is from Latin: Res publica means "public matters" or "the state." In Greek, the title was the Politeia, which means the Constitution.
		In the end, probably the most enduring image of the entire Republic, as an expression of Plato's view of life and the world, is the Allegory (or Simile) of the Cave.
		The argument of the rest of the Republic, consequently, is that the just man would not be tempted by invisibility to commit crimes, because he would know that crime itself makes one unhappy and that he is better off to remain just.

	Pasquale Paoli Corsican Independence from Genoa
		The Corsicans themselves had a predilection for becoming involved in bloody inter-clan vendettas and the Genoese had often found it convenient, over the several centuries of their rule in Corsica, to exploit, and indeed foment, inter-clan conflicts to better allow their own position of sovereignty over Corsica to be maintained.
		For all her long and proud traditions as a seafaring city state the Republic of Genoa was unable to reverse the independence won for Capraja.
		Paoli was unsympathetic to some of the more radical turns the French Revolution took in particular, although he was himself something of a Deist believing in God somewhat abstractly, Paoli was opposed to the revolutions' reform of the organisation of the Catholic church in France in a form subservient to the state.
