A. Pocock has argued that a distinct republican tradition stretches from the classical world to the present.[9][16] Other scholars disagree.[9] Paul Rahe, for instance, argues that the classical republics had a form of government with few links to those in any modern country.[17] The term republic does not appear in the Declaration of Independence, but it does appear in Article IV of the Constitution, which "guarantee[s] to every State in this Union a Republican form of Government." What exactly the writers of the constitution felt this should mean is uncertain.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-70.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-70.txt
