Rousseau and Machiavelli: civic republicanism
“not being the State or City more than a moral person whose life is in union menbers, and most importantly their own care is the conservation, it becomes a universal force required to move and compulsive wrap each part of the way most convenient to all.
But besides the person 's public, we must consider the particular persons who compose it, and whose life and freedom naturally independent of it. It is, therefore, to distinguish the rights their citizens and the sovereign, and the duties that the former must play as subjects, the natural right to be enjoyed in quality men”.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The work presented below will address issues about the influence that the authors had Rousseu and Machiavelli on democracy models with input on civic republicanism.
To introduce the subject, we must begin with the definition and explanation of republicanism. Republicanism is a political theory, in which the republic is the optimal model for a state government. Republicanism is also, in the context of the revival of democracy in the eighteenth century, opposition to the monarchy, but also protection against the dangers of the tyranny of the majority. In this sense, republicanism is synonymous with opposition to the populist tradition, meaning by this that "democratic participation acclaimed as one of the highest forms of good, and often gives a patina lyrical communitarian vein, the desirability of brown and homogeneous society presupposes supposedly popular participation" (Philp, 1996). The tradition of republican political thought has as its central point the idea of res publica, the common area shared by the citizens. The roots of this tradition are in the classic Roman Republic, revived in the Italian free cities of Florence and Venice in the Renaissance, and influenced widely in the American Revolution. They can name it as leading
