Weimar Republic? edit
Shouldn’t the Weimar Republic be included? I don’t know if it counts but it feels like it should… Snizzbut (talk) 14:31, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
Crowned Republics? edit
This term is nonsensical from a political science point of view. There is no such thing. A republic is a state whose governmental system has no hereditary monarch. A monarchy is a state which has such. Neither term implies either democracy or despotism. A monarchy can be as limited as Japan or as absolute as Saudi Arabia but it remains a monarchy. Likewise, a republic can be as democratic as Iceland or as tyrannical as Enver Hoxha's Albania; both are republics. The notion of a ″Crowned Republic″ is as self contradictory as a short giant or a progressive conservative, the two terms are opposite in meaning. The proper term for a monarchy where the sovereign is a de facto or de jure figurehead has always been a ″Constitutional Monarchy″. This is even true of a limited monarchy like the United Kingdom, which has no written constitution, but where the monarch has no actual political rôle beyond fulfilling ceremonial functions. For a passing moment I wondered if I'd lost my mind, or if political science definitions had been revised while I wasn't looking, so I rang up a friend of mine who is a professor of history to confirm the nature of these definitions. He assures me that the academic, political science definitions of republic and monarchy have not changed. I have no say over the format of Wikipedia, but I would suggest that the issue be put to the actual, named editors, and that this ersatz category be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:3D08:2678:84E0:0:0:0:F33D (talk) 20:50, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
