Classical Republicanism
Connects civic freedom with a self-governing political community, public service, and institutions that resist corruption and dependence.
Foundational doctrines
- Civic virtue
- Mixed constitution
- Public participation
- Anti-corruption
Disagreement and variation
Historical models often restricted citizenship; contemporary readers dispute how civic virtue and participation can be reconciled with pluralism and equal inclusion. Historical republics excluded many residents from citizenship; contemporary republican reconstructions reject many such exclusions.
