Why a Republic is Better Than a Monarchy during Peace Monarchy’s and Republics, two different types of Government that are still used to this day. Without a doubt some of the most powerful states used and still do use these government types. Although peace is something you may not always find in a Monarchy and Republics. Monarchy’s are better for smaller societies where actions can be put out fast and are very prestigious in warfare. Where Republics are usually slow and take a while to act defensive. Peace is harder to keep in a society that revolves around warfare and defense, hence why Republics are better. The main reasons Monarchy’s are rather trash at keeping peace is because of walls. If their walls are closed and no one is allowed in, there can’t be trade. Without trade a Monarchy would fall, they don 't have enough jobs and people to sustain themselves forever. When a Monarchy runs out of supplies, they are going to seek for some supplies. Usually, instead of trading or waiting and figuring out if they can get the supplies, they declare war on somebody else. Also, when you rule under one person, pretty much all of the final decisions are made by the Monarch, which can lead to revolt and corruption, which also breaks peace in a Monarchy. Republics allow the citizens to make the decisions for the state, citizens vote for who they want to be head of state. With the feeling of freedom and right to have whatever job you want, citizens won’t want to revolt a lot, if at all. …show more content…

The Age of Absolutism The Age of Absolutism was a period of prosperity in Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries. While at this time many countries had absolute rulers, these rulers were able to make a lot of progress in advancing their nations. These rulers are some of the greatest rulers these countries have ever had and helped lead to the prosperity of this era.

Consequently, monarchy and its one ruler system trumps all other government systems, simply due to the fact that monarchy reflects God’s natural structure. Eusebius applauded Constantine and his monarchy because, “he [Constantine] directs his gaze above, and frames his earthly government
The Constitutional Republic of today and colonial times Many of the laws and policies from the colony era are still in effect. The federalist papers speak on the behalf of most of these policies. Also the check and balance system, the process in which bills become laws, and lastly the three branches of the government. It is important to remember even the policies that are not in effect today, because they shaped our government into what it is today.
It is important to understand the differences between a republic and a democracy; a republic is centered on the people, guaranteeing life, liberty, and freedom, and ensuring individual rights whereas in a democracy, the majority rules and individual rights are not of concern. Another difference between a republic and a democracy is the amount of power the government holds; a republic limits government power while a democracy places no limitations
A large republic government prevails over small republic or democracy when controlling factions because there are more people to divide into the factions and therefore there is less unification among the members of the factions. Also, if there is a large republic in which Senators are elected, it is easier to hold the leaders accountable for their actions due to the amount of people because the leaders need to stay on good terms in order to continue receiving votes. In contrast, a small republic allows the citizens to be easily manipulated by factions and leaders. A large republic protects the minority because factions will exist for as long as there is freedom.
As Alexander Hamilton said, “Unless your government is respectable, foreigners will invade your rights; and to maintain tranquillity, it must be respectable - even to observe neutrality, you must have a strong government” (Alexander Hamilton Quotes). This quote shows how having a respectable government is extremely important, and having the government divided is the best way to do this. I personally believe that rather having a complete monarchy, dividing up the power is the smartest way of running the government.
Madison states, “A rage for paper money, for an abolition of debts, for an equal division of property, or for any other improper or wicked project, will be less apt to pervade the whole body of the Union than a particular member of it; in the same proportion as such a malady is more likely to taint a particular county or district, than an entire State.” Therefore, with more individuals governing a larger group of people, it is less likely that a majority will be formed that would take away the rights of citizens, and if in fact a majority was formed with those views or goals, it would be difficult to implement those ideas. A large republic government has proved to be successful in the United States
Democracy broken down means “Rule by the people.” To describe what democracy means, it is rule by majority. In similarity, republic means “Thing of the people,” which means there’s no monarchy, only “Rule by law.” Our government which is a representative democracy, politics such as laws limit and control what the government may or may not do. For example, we the people elect a president, members of the congress, state and local officials to listen to what we need as a society.

INTRO: So, what is a republic? A republic is a democratic nation in which the highest public office is held not by a monarch, who inherits the position by birth, but instead by a citizen chosen on merit. Australia is a monarchy because it was colonised by the British in 1788. With them, they brought their lifestyles, culture and system of government.
Madison believes that large republics are best able to avoid the dangers of faction. This is because at large republics, there are more experiences to share and unity is better valued. Also because the majority rules in republics, but the minorities ideas are still taken into consideration. In Federalist Paper 51, James Madison is explaining that the purpose of the essay is so that people have a better understanding on how the structure of the proposed government makes liberty possible.
In the 1500s and the 1600s the feudal system was beginning to fall. Different countries were trying new different types of governments instead of the dysfunctional feudal system. The feudal system consisted of many different nobles ruling over their own land. It was not a uniform system of ruling over the country. There were small city-states run by a singular ruler.
"We behold kings seated upon the throne of the Lord, bearing in their hand the sword which God himself has given them" (Document 5). If God himself sent these rulers to lead, why wouldn 't they be prosperous? This is the question many from this time period asked. Absolutism was good for them because their God put the monarchs in charge and gave them his power. Absolute monarchs came into
