Républicanisme
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Républicanisme is the French version of Republicanism. It is a social contract concept, that owes to Jean-Jacques Rousseau's idea of a general will. Ideally, each citizen is engaged in a direct relationship with the state, obviating the need for group identity politics based on local, religious, or racial identification.
The ideal of républicanisme, in theory, renders anti-discrimination laws needless, but some critics argue that colour-blind laws serve to perpetuate ongoing discrimination.[1]
