Public Affairs

Respublika!

Pats žodis yra kilęs iš lotynų kalbos res publica arba viešasis reikalas ir nurodo į valstybės valdymą iš visos liaudies pusės.

Šiais laikais, respublikos valstybės vadovas paprastai yra vienas asmuo, prezidentas, nors yra ir išimčių, pavyzdžiui, Šveicarijoje valstybės vadovas yra septynių narių taryba Bundesratas, San Marine valstybės vadovo pareigas užima du asmenys.

Tie šveicarai dar ir ratu tebegeba susėst!

Negalime teigti, kad respublika yra demokratiškesnė už monarchiją arba atvirkščiai, nes valstybės vadovo galios (ar tai būtų prezidentas ar monarchas) gali būti visiškai simbolinės. Monarchai paprastai valdo iki gyvos galvos ir, kai jie miršta jų vietą užima jų giminaitis, kuris gali būti laisvai parenkamas arba nustatomas pagal specialias taisykles. Respublikų prezidentai paprastai renkami ribotai kadencijai, o pasibaigus kadencijai kitas vadovas renkamas iš naujo tos pačios institucijos
O ar tymokratiškesnė?

New International Version

If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector.
