== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> ==
* '''Republicanism''' — A political theory centered on "Citizenship" in a "Republic" (A 'Public Thing') and the "Prevention of Tyranny."
* '''Non-Domination''' (Pettit) — The "Republican" definition of freedom: "Being free from the **Arbitrary Power** of another person or state" (Even if they are 'Kind').
* '''Civic Virtue''' — The "Character" of a "Good Citizen": the "Willingness" to "Put the Public Good" above "Private Gain."
* '''The Res Publica''' — Latin for "The Public Affair/Thing": the belief that "Government" belongs to "Everyone," not a "King."
* '''Arbitrary Power''' — Power that can be "Exercised at Will" without "Reason" or "Accountability" (e.g., 'A Boss who can fire you for no reason').
* '''Participation''' — The "Act" of "Voting," "Deliberating," and "Serving" in the community.
* '''Corruption''' — In Republicanism, this isn't just "Stealing Money"; it is the "Crumbling of Civic Virtue" where citizens "Stop Caring" about the public.
* '''Positive Liberty''' (Berlin) — (See Article 556). "Freedom **TO** act" and "Participate" in the "Direction of one's life."
* '''Checks and Balances''' — (See Article 166). The "Mechanical" part of Republicanism: "Splitting Power" to ensure "No One Person" can "Dominate."
* '''The Common Good''' — (See Article 557). The "Shared Goals" of the Republic.
