You believe in a political system that promotes the common good, individual rights, and representative democracy through elected officials.
Republicanism is a political ideology that emphasizes the values of liberty, civic virtue, and opposition to corruption. It is centered around the concept of a republic, a form of government in which power resides in the people and their elected representatives, rather than in a monarch or dictator. Republicanism is often associated with the rule of law, the separation of powers, and a system of checks and balances, all of which are designed to prevent the abuse of power.
The roots of republicanism can be traced back to ancient Rome, where the Roman Republic served as an early model…

How do you balance your personal entertainment time online with staying informed about current events?
@9KYSFC7 10mos10MO
I will use the internet to focus on the enviroment issues and focus on different things to focus on.

Are you Kamala Harris? The way you talk sounds like it
@9KYRXDLRepublican10mos10MO
It is good to have a laugh while still staying informed on what the government is doing. Having something to laugh at while being informed is important to me.
@9KYRPN810mos10MO
At least once a week I will read several articles regarding the current events
@9KYRWWLConstitution10mos10MO
Republicanism is important, in my opinion people can not do anything without republicanism.

What's a time you've had to compromise with friends or family, and how did it make you feel?
@9KYRKYQ10mos10MO
I have faught with my steps moms family many times because of their loving trump, and I tried to be understanding, I wouldn't say it was fighting but they weren't saying the whole truth in a factrul way, I felt great after for knowing what I know and able to try to understand the other side but knowing that I was the most correct with the full truth on every closing sentence, It kinda made me mad on how stupid some people are and close-minded they are.
@9L4J6949mos9MO
You don’t want to believe what we know and what is why you won’t learn anything new. Or be open minded to other options.
@9KYR82CIndependent10mos10MO
My best friend is on the apposing presidental side as me, but we do not mention it around each other
@9KYRB8H10mos10MO
I´ve had to compromise my strong belief of pro life when the topic is about rape, because that is not a choice.
@9KYRDWT10mos10MO
I have to compromise with having a sibling all the time and sometimes i feel its the best to handle a situation but other times i feel like it is not fair.
@ISIDEWITH10mos10MO
How often do you encounter situations requiring you to stand up for yourself or others, and how do you handle them?
@@1876-Elbert2mos2MO
Anytime I tell somebody I'm Christian.
Many people who I tell I'm Christian try to destroy my faith. All I do is pray, and present evidence for it calmly.
@Renaldo-MoonGreen 2mos2MO
“All I do is pray, and present evidence for it calmly.”
While making the rest of us feel like abominations if we don't agree with you.
In such situations, I would try to solve it by myself, and if it exceeds my level, then I would pass it to someone more apt than me, who is capable of handling the situation.
@9KZCS9Z10mos10MO
In situations requiring me to stand up for myself, depending on the level of depth of the situation, to be safe I would personally try to deescalate the situation or walk away from it before it worsens. Next thing would be to talk things through, which most likely, taking todays societal people, will not work. Intimidation of simple negotations is the best bet.
@9KZD6QV10mos10MO
i dont ever have to stand up for myself or others because nobody makes fun of other infront of them and nobody knows
@ISIDEWITH10mos10MO
If you could create a school rule that everyone had to follow, what would it be and why?
@9L2JJBW9mos9MO
All teachers need to provide the reading material for students. I feel like teachers can teach what they believe if they know the material.
@9L2JHRJ9mos9MO
Antaginizing someone to violence gets you a greater punishment because too many people feel free to say mean things to other people.
@9L2K3V9Independent 9mos9MO
I wouldn't necessarily "create" a school rule, but rather get rid of one. The rule I would get rid of is the dress code. The way a student dresses does not affect their education in any way. Nor is it distracting to other students most of the time. Most of the time the only person, and or people worried about what a student wears are the adults that are employed by the school. Another thing about the dress code is, that it Its unstable. The enforcers of this rule only apply it to certain students rather than to every student. Many developed students (Mainly women) aren't… Read more

How might community sports or team experiences translate into lessons for good governance?
@9KDX63M10mos10MO
They highlight that each people evolve into their own roles with responsibilities
@9KDXKJRPeace and Freedom10mos10MO
They show that each people evolve into their own roles with responsibilities
@9KDXL6XIndependent10mos10MO
It teaches people to work together, like how countries should work together
@9KDZ9LX10mos10MO
I guess it would depend on each teammate's experience with the governance.
@ISIDEWITH9mos9MO
Have you ever felt a rule at school was unfair, and what process did you follow to address it, if any?
@ISIDEWITH12mos12MO
What role do you believe education plays in promoting a sense of shared civic duty?
@9HW6P2812mos12MO
Education teaches individuals to collaborate together, listen to various points of view
@9HX5ZMQ12mos12MO
Education teaches students to think and act a specific way. It doesn’t allow for much room to follow your interests from a young age and find like minded people and allow for significant growth. Education teaches students to listen to the teacher and the curriculums addenda rather than express themselves and their own view points.
Education is very important, and people should be granted equal education
@9HW6RK2Republican12mos12MO
Education is important to republicanism because we have to be a smart country to persevere over our adversaries.
@9HW6V5K 12mos12MO
A large portion of the Constitution that is overlooked today, is the civic duties of the American citizen. Although our Constitution extends and ensures rights and liberties, the constituents are expected to preserve the checks and balances of government. One such way is through the second amendment, using firearms to check the power of government, preventing another tyrannical ruler from holding government office.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How can elected representatives truly understand and represent the will of the people?
@9H8YZJ61yr1Y
Elected representatives should make decisions based on the people's vote. Asking the people themselves instead of trying to sell them their own ideal.
@9H8YMY61yr1Y
by maintaining more direct connections with the people they represent
@9H8Z39C1yr1Y
I would understand the republicanism is not just a crime but it's more effective to the people who have their own rights to justice in the U.S.
@9H8YJ5X1yr1Y
They can represent and truly understand if they came to an agreement.
@ISIDEWITH12mos12MO
How might encouraging empathy among citizens improve a republic's function?
@9HYG5WC12mos12MO
Encouraging empathy is a great thing to do, I feel like it will make a difference in whether people will decide to make that difference. Empathy is a good way into taking account how this might make people feel which is very important cause people's feelings matter.
@9HYBLFVPeace and Freedom12mos12MO
If citizens learn to empathize those in need, the republics function will of course work better.
@ISIDEWITH12mos12MO
How does exposure to different cultures and opinions influence one's idea of effective governance?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Can a society ensure complete liberty for individuals without infringing on others' rights?
@9H8PJPM1yr1Y
A lot of issues are more grey than black and white, so assuring universal rights can be hard but something that can be striven for.
@9H8PWJG1yr1Y
It depends on who you voting for in the Republicans even if they are Republican you should have the rigth to vote for other rights
@9H8P36D1yr1Y
No, Not all individuals are going to get liberty and that is okay.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would you define 'the common good,' and do you think it's achievable through elected officials?
The common good is a state where all people are equally represented regardless of race, wealth, gender, sex, the like. In this state of the common good, we all look out for each other and for our planet at large. I personally think that this can be done through elected officials on paper, but not at all in practice. The problem is that the wealthy elites pay off both Democrats and Republicans to serve their interests.
@9H98XNB1yr1Y
The common good to me, means the government making decisions that are beneficial for either all or majority of the public. Although throughout recent elected republican officials they have not shown that they don't make decisions based on the common good.
@9H95CZW1yr1Y
the common good is what is given to the community, yes.
@ISIDEWITH12mos12MO
Have discussions on social media ever changed your perspective on a political issue, and in what way?
@9HY8SL212mos12MO
people can be too easily influenced by social media and are willing to believe what they hear without having to research it. Many individuals live their lives thinking they are always correct and aren't self-aware. Idiots.
@9HY8GX8Republican12mos12MO
No because i only trust what is fact and people do not speak facts online
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Can transparency in government operations make a significant difference, and how can it be ensured?
@9HJHH2V1yr1Y
yes, it sure can make a difference, and the government should be regulated on a regular basis
@9HJH84NRepublican1yr1Y
yes transparency can be built with trust through the public.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How has your education or upbringing influenced your view on the importance of voting and political participation?
@9HJGPBY1yr1Y
It has shown me that there are people out there who use their political power to fear monger others into thinking a certain way against other people
@ISIDEWITH11mos11MO
How do you think social media shapes our understanding of civic responsibility
@9JB8BRT11mos11MO
I believe social media allows the government to better understand how people voice their opinions and what those exact opinions are.
@9JB8BL311mos11MO
I think social media shapes how we think because it highlights only small details and doesn't give the full picture of how things really are.
@ISIDEWITH12mos12MO
How should society reconcile the tension between progress and preserving tradition?
@9J7NZ5D12mos12MO
Society should just realize that this isn't the 1900s anymore. New generations create their own cultures that grow with future generations. And some traditions need to be ended.
Give people what they want to the best of your abilities
@ISIDEWITH12mos12MO
To what extent should leaders prioritize transparency, and how does it affect trust?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How much power should a government have to limit individual actions for the sake of societal well-being?
@9H9CRSDLibertarian 1yr1Y
The limitation should be very little, you cant infringe on other people’s God given rights. The government shouldn’t be able to legislate every little thing.
@9H9DY9G1yr1Y
I believe that in general the government should have limited power as stated in the social contract. I do also thing though that in certain times of crisis the government may exert more power in order to keep the country safe.
@ISIDEWITH9mos9MO
How have you negotiated compromise in group settings, and how do you think those skills apply to national governance?
@9L8DS3CIndependent9mos9MO
a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive
I don't judge anyone based on their party unless they support trump
@ISIDEWITH9mos9MO
What responsibilities do you believe you have towards those who are less privileged in your community?
@9L9JDQ79mos9MO
if they arent willing to work the government shouldnt take care of them if they are willing to work the governemt should take care of them
@9L9J7YCIndependent9mos9MO
I believe that donating money, food, and clothing is important. I don’t believe that I should have to
@ISIDEWITH10mos10MO
How do you resolve disagreements among friends, and can that strategy be applied to larger social conflicts?
@ISIDEWITH11mos11MO
What gives you hope about the current direction of your country's political system?
@9JFYSGSRepublican11mos11MO
I hope that Republicans continue to maintain their beliefs, however I feel that they need to back off on some of their ideological pushes, such as religion.
@9JB8BRT11mos11MO
I believe that in the next couple of years a republican candidate and will rewrite how the economy and foreign relations are run.
@ISIDEWITH12mos12MO
@ISIDEWITH11mos11MO
Have you experienced a moment when your voice significantly impacted a local community decision, and how did it make you feel?
I guess in a club being local in the community of the school grounds when I spoke it made a difference with people agreeing and me agreeing with them making me feel good but others don't always side with your facts and or opinons making things harder in certain situations.
@9KJJVVW10mos10MO
No, I haven't spoke out to the point where it changed my local community.
@ISIDEWITH12mos12MO
How have your personal values shaped your perspective on what makes a fair and just society?
@9HT6DZ912mos12MO
their will never be a just society as long as there is no national bolshevism
