Unless we explicitly state that we are talking about something else, we mean by the terms "republic/republican/republicanism" nothing more than the form of government which uses the separation of powers to pit competing interests into a gridlock and thereby to curtail the ability for one interest group to dominate and rule -- this gridlock serves to ensure that the polity is ruled by the constitutional document -- that is, that the polity is ruled by a publicly published constitutional law, and not by the whim of any interest group.
