Özet:

 The proclamation of the Republic in Türkiye can be considered the beginning of modern society and politics because it ended a dynastic theocratic state and turned into an institution based on popular sovereignty. In this regard, the establishment of the Republic reminds of the republican experiences in America and France, which took place in the last quarter of the 18th century. The demand for change, which started under the leadership of social segments demanding free and equal citizenship in both countries, accelerated the revolutions, which were followed by a republican administration guided by written constitutions. The republican founding act in America and France are examples because modern constitutions shaped by human rights declarations accompanied the revolutions that destroyed the old order. A similar paradigm of change and republican essence is present in the new political regime in Türkiye at the beginning of the twentieth century. This study aims to discuss the founding act in Türkiye in light of the republican experiences after the American and French Revolutions. The issue which has a broad framework is limited by the principle of republican political participation. Firstly, a comparison is made regarding the establishment of the Republic in America and France through the two themes, and then the republican beginning in Türkiye is discussed. The study investigates the potential and possibility of a democratic republic in the establishment of the new state and regime in Türkiye.

 Hanedanlığa dayalı teokratik bir devlete son vererek halk egemenliğini esas alan bir kuruluşa yönelmesi nedeniyle Türkiyede Cumhuriyetin ilanı, modern toplumun ve siyasetin başlangıcıdır. Bu yönüyle Cumhuriyetin kuruluşu, 18. yy. son çeyreğinde gerçekleşen Amerika ile Fransadaki cumhuriyet deneyimlerini hatırlatmaktadır. Özgür ve eşit yurttaşlık talep eden toplumsal kesimler öncülüğünde başlayan değişim talebi, devrimlere ivme kazandırmış, ardından yazılı anayasaların rehberlik ettiği cumhuriyet idaresini getirmiştir. Eski düzeni yıkan devrimlere, insan hakları bildirgeleriyle biçimlenen modern anayasalar eşlik ettiği için Amerika ile Fransada cumhuriyetçi kurucu eylem, bir örnek teşkil etmektedir. Benzer bir değişim paradigması ve cumhuriyetçi öz, yirminci yüzyılın başlarında Türkiyedeki yeni siyasal rejim içinde söz konusudur. Bu çalışma, Türkiyedeki kurucu eylemi, Amerikan ve Fransız Devrimleri sonrasında geçilen cumhuriyet deneyimleri ışığında tartışmayı amaçlamaktadır. Geniş bir çerçeveye sahip konu, cumhuriyetçi siyasal katılım ilkesiyle sınırlandırılmaktadır. Bu izlek eşliğinde Amerika ile Fransada Cumhuriyetin kurucu köklerine ilişkin bir çerçeve çizilmekte, Türkiyedeki cumhuriyetçi başlangıcı tahlil etmeye yönelik bir felsefi zemin inşa edilmektedir. Çalışma, Türkiyede yeni devlet ve rejimin kuruluşunda demokratik bir cumhuriyetin potansiyelini ve imkanını soruşturmaktadır.
