<br/><br/>Introduction: the republic, old and new -- Freedom as non-domination -- Social justice -- Political legitimacy -- Democratic influence -- Democratic control -- Conclusion : the argument, in summary. 
<br/><br/> "According to republican political theory, choosing freely requires being able to make the choice without subjection to another and freedom as a person requires being publicly protected against subjection in the exercise of basic liberties. But there is no public protection without a coercive state. And doesn't state coercion necessarily take from the freedom of the coerced? Philip Pettit addresses this question from a civic republican perspective, arguing that state interference does not involve subjection or domination if there is equally shared, popular control over government." --
