This principle follows from the theory of popular sovereignty. In which it is established that sovereignty, power, resides in the people. Therefore, the people have the right to govern themselves. -If that! Woohooo! The characteristics of the republican system of government are; 1.- Election of representatives or agents. The people elect their representatives. He gives him an errand, he orders him to govern in his name; That is why they are also called agents (A agent is that person whom another, the principal, orders or commissions to do something) 2.- Periodicity in the functions: The representatives of the people hold their government position for a certain period, which is established in the CN. After that period of time, new elections are held in which the people have the right to elect other representatives or to renew their mandate, if the CN allows it. Every time in high school I ask. "Who has the power in a democracy? Many students answer convinced. "The president" Error. Power belongs to the people. Let us remember that each official is a representative, elected by the people, who works for the people, and lasts for power for a certain time. Then the citizens will renew it if they wish, if it is possible, or they will elect another representative. Reinforcing this concept, there is..... 3.- Publicity of government acts and responsibility of the leaders. The representatives or agents must publish their acts of government so that the people can learn about them and know if they are fulfilling their mandate. In addition, they are responsible for their acts of government before the people who elected them. This means that they must take charge of everything they do, or do not do. They must act responsibly. -911.

All these functions concentrated in the same person, become an absolute power. That it does not recognize any limit, and if it is used selfishly or capriciously, it harms and oppresses the people. Therefore, from the eighteenth century, the theory of the division of powers began to be devised. The idea was to make the power control the power, therefore the different functions of the ruler were distributed in different organs of the State with specific functions. In our national Constitution the following powers are recognized; The executive power that deals with the administration and execution of government policies; in charge of the president and vice president at the national level. Head of government and deputy head of government in the autonomous city of Buenos Aires. And provincial governors. The legislative power that is in charge of the elaboration and sanction of the laws, exercised through deputies and senators. Y The judicial power that dispenses justice, judging those who commit crimes and applying penalties to those found guilty. The Judicial power is headed by the Judges.
