republican movement
Abolish the crown
A republican movement advocates replacing monarchy with a republic—a government where power derives from citizens rather than hereditary rulers.
In countries with monarchies, republican movements seek to abolish the crown: The republican movement gained momentum after the royal scandal.
In Ireland and Northern Ireland, the term specifically refers to those seeking a unified Irish republic independent of British rule.
