| ==Characteristics==
| |
| Although the term council republic encompasses many countries whose structures of governance vary considerably, they all feature directly elected legislative bodies. In this system, a council, sometimes a {{wp|workers' council}}, is the fundamental unit of governance for all levels of the country's administration from the national level to the local. Political power is distributed between these councils in a {{wp|federal system}} that functions from the bottom upwards. Council republics tend to empahise {{wp|Localism (politics)|localism}} through local councils that function through {{wp|direct democracy}}. Usually these councils would elect councils on the next levels of administration who would be responsible for regional or statewide authority. In turn, these can delegate members to the next level on a national level, which would be the national government. Alternatively each level of governance may be directly elected by the population. These councils usually also have executive and judicial powers as well as legislative powers, which is similar to the concept of {{wp|Parliamentary sovereignty|legislative supremacy}} in parliamentary republics.

In some republics, the councils may be {{wp|workers' council|workers' councils}} or another body that represents the interests of the workforce in politics. A council republic may also feature a [[Congress of the Workers' International|Section of the Workers' International]] which usually plays a prominent role in the country's politics. Often these political parties are organized through local, state, and national councils that function alongside government institutions.
