Commonwealth
Commonwealth Com"mon*wealth` (?; 277), n. [Common + wealth
well-being.]
1. A state; a body politic consisting of a certain number of
men, united, by compact or tacit agreement, under one form
of government and system of laws.
The trappings of a monarchy would set up an ordinary
commonwealth. --Milton.
Note: This term is applied to governments which are
considered as free or popular, but rarely, or
improperly, to an absolute government. The word
signifies, strictly, the common well-being or
happiness; and hence, a form of government in which the
general welfare is regarded rather than the welfare of
any class.
2. The whole body of people in a state; the public.
3. (Eng. Hist.) Specifically, the form of government
established on the death of Charles I., in 1649, which
existed under Oliver Cromwell and his son Richard, ending
with the abdication of the latter in 1659.
Syn: State; realm; republic.
