Köztársasággal

Köztársaság is a Hungarian word that translates to "republic" in English. It refers to a form of government where the country is considered a public matter, not the private concern or property of the rulers. In a republic, supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives, and which has an elected or nominated president rather than a monarch. The concept of köztársaság emphasizes popular sovereignty and the rule of law.

Historically, Hungary has had periods of republican rule. The First Hungarian Republic was established in 1918 following the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Second Hungarian Republic was proclaimed in 1946 after World War II, though it was later transformed into a socialist state. The current Hungarian state, established in 1989 after the end of communist rule, is also a republic, officially known as the Third Hungarian Republic, and was later renamed Hungary in 2012.

The core principles of a köztársaság include the separation of powers, typically among legislative, executive, and judicial branches, and the protection of fundamental rights and freedoms for its citizens. Elections are a crucial element, allowing citizens to choose their leaders and influence the direction of the government. The head of state in a Hungarian köztársaság is a president, who is typically elected by the National Assembly. The responsibilities and powers of the president can vary depending on the specific constitutional framework in place.
