<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Classical republicanism''' is a body of political thought which was developed in Western Europe and Britain during the [[Renaissance]]. During this time period Europe was largely dominated by dynastic monarchies and classical republicanism was a reaction to this form of rule. More specifically, it is a form of republicanism which stresses the restraint of power through the use of [[mixed government]] and aims at active participation in government and public life by all levels of society.<ref name="Denson_War">Denson, John. [http://mises.org/resources/2674/Century-of-War-A "A Century of War"], 2005.</ref> Classical republicanism grew from the ideas of [[Niccolo Maciavelli]] (1469-1527) who in turn followed the ideas of such classical writers as [[Aristotle]], [[Cicero]], and [[Polybius]].<ref name="Denson_War" /> <br />
