Republicans

For as long as the United States of America existed, we were, and still are, the greatest republican nation of all the nations in the world. The very basic foundation that the American government and political system is built upon is the very same principle that the original Republicans, sometimes referred to as the ‘Founding Fathers’ such as Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, or James Madison had in mind when setting the building blocks of our great country. The principles and ideals have eventually paved the way for other prominent Republican figures such as Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, or Dwight Eisenhower. These buildings blocks have gradually become the permanent cornerstones that the great nation of the United States of America stands on today. The republican principles that allow the citizens of a country decide who is to govern them is a definite formula for the success and prosperity if any nation, economically, politically, and socially. It is not uncommon for countries that are considered republicans to be at a slight advantage over those countries who oppose republican ideas and democratic values. The quality of life for citizens of a republican nation is also somewhat more developed than other nations. This is due to the simple fact that a government with republican attitudes and ideals is more attentive and conscientious to the needs of the general public, the citizens who make the country so great. The republicans of America are not great because of the country rather the United States of America is great because of the republican nature of the people. As the late great former President John F. Kennedy once exclaimed, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country”.

The basic principles of a republican nation are simple. Republicans believe that individual citizens, rather than the entire government entity, know what is best for the country and the people are entitled to the freedom of choice. One of the most important points about American government and politics is that no one individual is above the law, and that all citizens of this country are to be treated fairly and equally, no matter what race, ethnicity, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. There is however, a fairly lengthy and extensive history behind the government and political system of United States, and it would be a great understatement to say that we as a society have endured and fought through several trials and tribulations to be at where we stand as a nation today. Though there will undoubtedly be more obstacles for Americans to overcome and withstand, there is neither hesitation nor doubt that our great nation will stand through anything. The patriotism and confidence that Americans exude is a healthy indication of just how powerful and influential a republican nation can be. Had it not been for the moral guidance and resolute stances of the original republicans, our country would be a very different place in our day and age.
