==Characteristics of republics==
===Head of state===
In most modern republicas the [[head of state]] is termed [[president]]. Other titles that have been used are [[consul]], [[doge]], [[archon]] and many others. In republics that are also [[Democracy|democracies]] the head of state is selected as the result of an election. This election can be indirect, such as if a council of some sort is elected by the people, and this council then elects the head of state.
