Summary/Abstract: The concept of “republic” is define in the constitutions of Socialist Yugoslavia as „socialist democratic self-governing community“. In the definitions of “republic”, especially those reported in the constitutions of 1963 and 1974, it is clear that the “republic”, is understood not in the modern sense of state-apparatus with an elective organ at the head, to distinguish it from the monarchy, but as a state-community composed by citizens, that is a corporation of sovereign individuals. This conception derives from the legal and political ideas of Ancient Rome and was indirectly accepted into Yugoslavia through the works of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and his followers.
