[QUOTE="71buickfreak, post: 1881988, member: 8373"] The first 4 french republics failed, the German Weimar republic failed (and was replaced by the Nazis), And of course, Rome was a republic. The US is a republic, not a democracy, there is a big difference. In a republic, the individual is sovereign, where the group is the sovereign entity in a democracy. That said, the form of republic practiced in the United States of America is different from all of these previous forms. The US is, as usual, different from the rest. I have included a list of republics in the known world. While there are a handful that failed in the 200-250 year zone, the majority failed within the first 15-20 years. quite a few lasted 300-400 years, while there are few that have been in existence since 800 AD. The number of recent republics are more akin to what we have in US, but many are just now in the post-centennial time period. France- 1st 1792-1804 2nd 1848-1852 3rd 1879-1940 4th 1947-1959 5th 1958-current German Weimar 1919-1933 Rome 509-27 BC (that's 482 years) That said, the form of republic practiced in the United States of America is different from all of these previous forms. The US is, as usual, different from the rest. I have included a list of republics in the known world. While there are a handful that failed in the 200-250 year zone, the majority failed within the first 15-20 years. quite a few lasted 300-400 years, while there are few that have been in existence since 800 AD. The number of recent republics are more akin to what we have in US, but many are just now in the post-centennial time period. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_republics[/url] [/QUOTE]
