About this document

Camila Vergara - Republican Constitutional Thought by MC is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This article explores the division within republican constitutional thought between elitist and plebeian interpretations of the mixed constitution. It traces the development of elitist views from Cicero to modern thinkers like Montesquieu and Madison, while also mapping the plebeian tradition through figures such as Machiavelli and Jefferson. The author argues for a clearer taxonomy of republicanism that distinguishes these two strands based on their perspectives on the role of elites and the common people
