    They believe that government exists to protect liberties, but they are fearful of big government because “a government big enough to give you everything you want, is a government big enough to take away everything that you have.” Republicans feel that people need more of a say and that states need more power as opposed to the national government. The government should not let everything go unregulated, but they have to be very careful with what they regulate. The government should regulate the border, have a strong military and be vigilant about national security because the government exists to protect the citizens. Republicans adhere to traditional values, so they are skeptical of newfangled social…

    Republicanism is a multifaceted ideological conception centered on limiting and restricting greed, corruption, and rebellion. It has instigated turmoil with those who instil it as the foundation of the United States’ political systems. Republicanism takes on many forms, but should never be confused with the Republican Party. One of the main points of republicanism is the removal of absolute monarchies.

    The Philippines has a long history of democratic constitutional development. The Malolos Constitution of 1898-99 reflected the aspirations of educated Filipinos to create a polity as enlightened as any in the world (see The Malolos Constitution and the Treaty of Paris , ch. 1). That first constitution was modeled on those of France, Belgium, and some of the South American republics. Powers were divided, but the legislature was supreme. A bill of rights guaranteed individual liberties. The church was separated from the state, but this provision was included only after a long debate and passed only by a single vote. The Malolos Constitution was in effect only briefly; United States troops soon installed a colonial government, which remained in effect until the establishment of the Philippine Commonwealth in 1935 (see Commonwealth Politics, 1935-41 , ch. 1).…
