He outlines that in a republic there must be freedom fro all people, dependence, of everyone upon a single common legislation (as subjects), and legal equality for all citizens. The main concept is individual's need to be ruled, as to prevent them abusing each other, and this is applied to the assumption that a federation of nations, ruled by common doctrines, will prevent wars between states, much as a government prevents quarrels between citizens. This, he argues can only be possible when all nations in questions are republics.
