There are several main types of republican governments that I want to take a look at.<\/p>\n<p><b>The first being a constitutional republic.<\/b> This is where the head of state only has certain powers granted to it by a constitution and most of the nation&#8217;s citizens have the right to vote. <b>In a democratic republic<\/b>, everyone, all the citizens of that country, are said to have an equal say in that government and most of the citizens, again, have the right to vote.<\/p>\n<p><b>In a parliamentary republic<\/b>, there is both an elected head of state and an elected head of government. The elected head of state mostly serves as a figurehead, whereas the elected head of government holds most of the country&#8217;s executive powers.<\/p>\n<p><b>A federal republic<\/b> is when states are joined together by a republican form of government, as is the case in the U.S. <b>An Islamic republic<\/b> is when the republic is governed according to Islamic law, such as in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, a <b>socialist republic<\/b> is when the country says to be a country for the people, but there actually is no election process, such as in China. Those are a few main forms of republican governments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is a Republican Form of Government?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":{"0":"post-8406","1":"page","2":"type-page","3":"status-publish","5":"page_type-video","6":"page_domain-social-studies"},"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO Pro 4.9.10 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"This video tutorial helps explain the basics of Republican Government.
