Question

The supreme court has refused to define the term republican form of government because

Answer 1

Answer:

because, the court believes the issue is political rather than legal and should be handled by state and national government.

Explanation:

A republican form of government is one in which the political authority that is operational comes from the people. As seen in the United States of America, power is given to the government of the area by the citizens through its elected representatives. This is visibly spelt out in the constitution of the country and the third president of the U.S, Thomas Jefferson, asked the colonists at that time to move away from monarchy and become republican citizens themselves.

The supreme court of the country decided not to get involved in the definition of the term “republican form of government” because they rightly see the issue to be political in nature rather than legal and they expect the state and national government to handle it.
