Republicanism in France

Republicanism in France is a political ideology advocating for a government based on the principles of a republic, where power resides with the people rather than a monarchy or dictatorship. It emphasizes values such as liberty, equality, and fraternity, supporting democratic governance, rule of law, and human rights. France’s republican tradition emerged during the French Revolution, rejecting monarchy and aristocracy in favor of elected officials. It underpins the French political system today, promoting citizen participation and collective sovereignty, and has historically resisted authoritarian rule, shaping France’s commitment to democratic principles.
