    This document discusses different forms and historical developments of republicanism.

It also describes protective republicanism advocated by Machiavelli, which emphasizes balancing competing interests and citizen participation in lawmaking. The document notes how women were traditionally excluded from definitions of citizenship. In reflections, it questions how political apathy may compromise developmental and protective republican values, and whether majority approval alone adequately assesses the goodness of laws.
