What do you mean by Republic!???

         “A  State in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives, and which has an elected or nominated president rather than a monarch”  this definition you will get if you will search on Google for the meaning of Republic, a clear concept of a Republic State is given in this sentence, so I can add a Quote by Abraham lincoln about Democracy in which he had said that

“Democracy is a government of people by the people for the people”

here you can trace the similarities between the two words Republic and Democracy, rather you can say these two are the two sides of a same coin, to get clear about this concept we would need to know the meaning and concept of Monarch too, so the meaning of Monarch is

“a sovereign head of state, especially a king, queen, or emperor”  
so a king, we all know about this word king, the one who is above of all the people and everyone should bow down to him and in every order given by a king to be followed, it was compulsory on that time, a normal people can not question about a king’s decision or order, regarding this I will quote a King’s or emperor’s word which is

“ I am the state and my words are law”

 you know who said this and who is in this picture!? Louis XIV, the last king of France, during his time the French Revolution had came to existence and monarchy had been destroyed by the people of France, so the king means unquestionable, I am not denying the fact of great kings of history but most of the history of kings were disastrous for it’s people, so we can understand a Republic state don’t have the system of a King, it is actually the opposite of Kingship, in which people can question any head of the any Department of a republic state, we can question, we can discuss, and even we can remove the unquestionable person as well, and the thing to be noticed that a Head of Republic state is not a king rather he is just a representative, he should be respected but not to be feared as a king, we have right to remove him and we have right to question him, and if he misbehave or misuse with his position, he will be treated as same as a normal criminal of Republic state and would be punished equally, it is what were not being happen at old system, so we will do almost opposite as it was in a Monarch or Emperor’s system, so let’s not miss the duties in a Republic country or State after understanding the meaning of Republic,

Duties:-

·     

    
       Support and defend the Constitution.

·         Stay informed of the issues affecting you and your community.

·         Participate in the democratic process.

·         Respect and obey state and local laws.

·         Respect the rights, beliefs, and opinions of others.

·         Pay income and other taxes honestly, and on time, to state, and local authorities.

·         Defend the country if the need should arise.

   

It is mostly common of all Republic state, you can search and read your own State or Country’s fundamental duties, so the Republic country is not only about to enjoy the liberty in it but to be obeyed to it’s fundamental duties too, and by being aware of it’s basic meaning we can build a fruitful and peaceful society and a country..
