The concept of "republicanism" should not be confused with the ideologies that are present in the "Republican" party. Although there is some overlap, republicanism is not considered "right-wing" in the same way that the Republican party is.

Republicanism is a political philosophy that stresses the liberty and the inalienable rights of the individual people of a nation. Moreover, republicanism states that the sovereignty of the nation lies with the people. It also rejects aristocracy.

An important difference between republicanism and democracy is that republicanism believes there are some topics that are not subject to vote. While democracy consists on listening to the opinion of the majority, republicanism listens to the majority in matters that do not concern their basic principles.

The United States is more a republic than a democracy. Democracy in the United States is only respected up to a point. Some of the political leaders of the country are appointed, not elected. Moreover, judges (who are not elected representatives) can make decisions that are not popular and are not subject to vote. Democracy in the United States, therefore, is imperfect. On the other hand, republicanism is ingrained in the political system ever since the time of our Founding Fathers, and it is a basic element of the platform of all major political parties.

Select the correct answer. who are the only people who may introduce a bill in the house of representatives? a. employees of fed
Kitty [74]

The only people who may introduce a bill in the house of representatives are members of the house of representatives.

Each representative, also known as a member of the House of Representatives or House of Representatives, is elected for a two-year term to serve the people of a particular constituency. Representatives introduce bills and resolutions, propose amendments, and participate in committees.

United States Representatives each represent a portion of a state known as a congressional district, with an average population of 700,000 her. Senators, on the other hand, represent the entire state.  

Senators represent the state as a whole, while House representatives represent individual constituencies. The number of districts in each state is determined by the state's population. Every state has at least one representative of her in Congress. The House and Senate have evolved into very different institutions.
