Not to be confused with the
US Republican Party.
“The end of the republic is to enervate and to weaken all other bodies so as to increase its own body.”
Republicanism is a 
Non-Quadrant ideology centred on a system of government that (at least nominally) is non-hereditary, and opposition to 
Monarchism. Most of his views are dependent on context, varying from country to country. The only consistent trait has been a hatred for monarchist systems, but even then very particular countries and historical figures make an exception to this (ex. Cambodia, Napoleon, etc).
History
Republicanism is a political movement that has evolved throughout history with different manifestations and nuances. Its origins can be traced back to ancient Rome, where the Roman Republic served as a model of government with power distributed among various institutions, aiming to prevent excessive concentration of authority in the hands of a single individual.
During the Modern Age, republicanism experienced a strong resurgence in the context of revolutions that led to the establishment of republics in various countries, such as the 17th-century English Revolution or the late 18th-century American Revolution. In the latter case, republicanism became part of the philosophical foundation of the United States' independence.
In the 19th century, republicanism influenced nationalist and democratic movements in Europe, especially during the 1848 Revolutions of the People. During this period, republics emerged in various places, though many of them were short-lived.
In the 20th century, republicanism continued to play a significant role, especially in the struggle against authoritarian and totalitarian regimes. For instance, during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), Republicans fought against Francoist forces in defense of the Spanish Republic.
Today, republicanism remains a political movement advocating for a republican form of government, in contrast to monarchies. Republican principles often include the separation of powers, citizen participation in decision-making, and accountability of rulers.
Foundations
Republicanism has its roots in 
ancient Rome, where it developed as a political system based on the concept of res publica, which means “public thing” in Latin. Instead of having an absolute monarch, the Roman Republic established a government in which power was divided among different branches, such as the Senate and elected magistrates.
During the 
Enlightenment in 
Europe, particularly in the 18th century, republican ideas were revived and influenced the formation of the 
United States. Thinkers like 
Montesquieu and 
Rousseau advocated for the republic as a form of government where political power derived from the consent of citizens and was exercised for the benefit of the common good.
Thus, modern republicanism is grounded in these Enlightenment principles and the experience of ancient Rome. The American Revolution and the drafting of the United States Constitution reflect the influence of republicanism, establishing a representative government with checks and balances to prevent the excessive concentration of power in the hands of a single individual or group. This republican approach also influenced other revolutions and political movements throughout history.

- -
The reason why my American variant does not kill monarchists is that there aren't any left after more than 200 years of being an independent republic
