	Republicanism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Republicanism is the ideology of governing a nation as a republic, with an emphasis on Liberty and rule by the people.
		While republicanism is incompatible with a powerful monarchy, it is compatible with a constitutional monarch holding symbolic roles (as in modern Britain, Canada and Japan).
		All republicans rejected inherited elites and aristocracies, but the question was open whether the republic, in order to restrain unchecked majority rule, should have an unelected upper chamber, the members perhaps appointed meritorious experts, or should have a constitutional monarch.

	The Origins of Women's Activism: New York and Boston, 1797-1840, by Anne M. Boylan. Introduction.
		Evangelical women themselves, drawn to republican motherhood by its affirmations of female virtue, indeed its "conflation of the virtuous with the feminine" (as Ruth Bloch put it), effectively blended republican and evangelical representations into a broadened compass of womanhood that permitted both individual and collective means of civic action.
		In explaining how the marriage of evangelicalism and republicanism worked, I focus on the simultaneous emergence of women's organizations and new domestic ideals, and the "turn" that many groups took toward evangelical goals during the crucial years between 1810 and 1820.
		Moreover, the radical potential of a republican femininity based on equality instead of subordination never fully disappeared, and by the 1830s it had reemerged in both secular and religious guises.

	"A Larger Motherhood is Required:" The Development of a Female Reform Tradition in Nineteenth-Century America
		The ideology of 'Republican Motherhood' was bolstered, in the early nineteenth century, by Protestant clergymen who gradually began to perceive that women could be their allies in the battle against the increasing secularization of society.
		While a number of historians have seen this domestic ideology as isolating and confining for middle-class women, because it restricted them to the limited roles of housewife and mother within their own homes, more recent scholarship has suggested that this was not the case[20].
		Moreover, the ideology of 'Republican Motherhood' was used to justify a demand for women's education, as educational reformers both male and female argued that women needed to be properly educated themselves in order to educate their sons.

		However, Kerber’s creation of a republican motherhood that supposedly pushed women beyond the domestic environment is unconvincing.
		Before the American Revolution, it was not the republican motherhood that was the motivator for women; it was the need to survive and to support children in a patriarchal society.

	The Limits of Republican Citizenship
		They were labeled inferior or lacking in republican virtue, and thus unable because of gender or race to assume full citizenship in a republic.
		Another ideology that proved useful for the early republican period was that of the intellectual inferiority of Africans.
		This new idea about the frail nature of women, caught on during the early republican period, and women were assigned the gentle role of "developing and maintaining the virtue of the citizenry not as citizens themselves, but through their influence upon men, principally as wives, but also as mothers" (Lewis, 1994, p.

	Public Virtue, Public Vices: On Republicanism and the Tavern (Copyright KcM 2001-2006)
		In other words, when the Rush republicans who, increasingly concerned about the “aroused citizenry they had helped to create,” later decried the vices of the tavern, they were fighting an uphill battle against the very public institution that had made both the Revolution and the ascent of republican ideas possible in the first place.
		Third, and perhaps one of most interesting facets of the interplay between public houses and republicanism as examined by Conroy, is the role played by women in bringing an end to tavern life.
		Drawing on Linda Kerber’s concept of “republican motherhood,” which argues that republican ideology dictated that women “become the nurturers and instructors of virtuous republican citizens in the home, architects of a new domesticity,” and Richard Bushman’s study of the rise of gentility in The Refinement of America, Conroy argues that:

	Susanna Rowsonís novel Charlotte Temple addresses social concerns regarding sexual relations, marriage, and ...
		The rise of the belief in sensibility and notions of the Republican mother created a conflicting need for women to value their emotions as a source of knowledge and, at the same time, to develop their own moral fortitude and independence of thought.
		Sensibility, and a criticism of the over-emphasis of emotion, lurks within Rowson’s passage, and her rejection of love and romance highlights the changes in women’s roles as Republican wives and mothers from the emotionally and physically "weaker sex" into women of high morals and strength expected to nurture virtuous families.
		This type of motherhood relied upon women as "wives and mothers who were well-informed, ‘properly methodical,’ and free of ‘invidious and rancorous passions’" (Kerber 118).
