可以想成一個國家是「大家共同的公共事務」，而不是某個人的私產——由人民選出誰來領導，最高位子上坐的是總統，而不是世襲…更多收起可以想成一個國家是「大家共同的公共事務」，而不是某個人的私產——由人民選出誰來領導，最高位子上坐的是總統，而不是世襲的國王或女王。

From the word’s history

Republic is from Latin res publica, literally 'the public thing/affair' — res 'thing, affair' plus publica 'public'. Rome used it for the state seen as everyone's shared concern rather than a king's possession, which is exactly the modern core.

republic 來自拉丁文 res publica，字面是「公共的事物」——res（事物、事務）加上 publica（公共的）。羅馬人用它指「把國家看成大家共同的事」，而不是國王的私有財產，這正好就是今天的核心意思。

    archaicA state, which may or may not be a monarchy, in which the executive and legislative branches of government are separate.

    • Republicanism is the political principle of the separation of the executive power (the administration) from the legislative; despotism is that of the autonomous execution by the state of laws which it has itself decreed.[…]Therefore, we can say: the smaller the personnel of the government (the smaller the number of rulers), the greater is their representation and the more nearly the constitution approaches to the possibility of republicanism; thus the constitution may be expected by gradual reform finally to raise itself to republicanism[…]. None of the ancient so-called "republics" knew this system, and they all finally and inevitably degenerated into despotism under the sovereignty of one, which is the most bearable of all forms of despotism.
