188金宝:Montesquieu on the republican government

Author:      From:      Hits:

LUO Yixuan

Abstract:Due to the widespread influence of republicanism in Europe of the 17th-18th centuries, Montesquieu included the republican government in his complete analysis of the various governments to assess whether it was a proper form of moderate government. Nevertheless, whether in terms of the nature of the government or the principle of the government, the republican government does not conform to the core features of moderate government. Due to the particularity of absolute sovereignty, it is difficult for the republic to establish a stable mechanism of power control and balance. Therefore, the republic must force the people to always adhere to the virtue. In addition, the virtue, of which self-renunciation is the main content, is fundamentally deviated from the ultimate goal of politics. Moreover, in reality, the republic is easy to decay and collapse because, on the one hand, there is a structural conflict between its nature and principle, and on the other hand, whether out of the need because of the fear of foreign enemies or out of the need for the successful existence of virtue education, or the survival requirements of the republic, all renders it a strong war propensity. Finally, the republican government is completely anachronistic in the modern nation-state and commercial society.
