Give me an example of a country today which is officially known as a Federal Republic and has no constitution?

Is that a question or a statement?

A question when a question mark(?) at the end of my above sentence in bold :)

Aaaaaanyway...only 3 returns on Federal Republic and the other 2 do have Constitutions.

Thanks. Which country in your link was officially designated a Federal Republic without a constitution? I can't find it & am curious.

However, even they cite the US as a constitutional federal republic and is the only one listed as such. Why do you think that is so?

Just because they list it as such doesn't mean the US is the only (Constitutional) Federal Republic.

A "Constitutional Republic" label (on its own), you had insisted, is a broad term too; slightly less so than a "Republic". There are many "Constitutional Republics" - not all are "Federal Republics" too. See my post #88.

Now, you show me where a Federal Republic has to have a Constitution.

By definition and inherently, a Federal Republic is a form of government made up of a federal state with (or according to) a constitution, which include self-governing subunits (state governments) -- a constitution is a given (typically a basic fact, or, at least an accurate assumption). See #87.

Still don't see a response.

Wh questions (Question Words)
Question words are also called wh questions because they include the letters 'W' and 'H'.

Your words...Give me an example of a country today which is officially known as a Federal Republic and has no constitution?

A question mark alone doesn't make a question. "Give me" is a demand, not a request.

You don't understand sentence structure so it's easy to see why you think a democracy is a republic and a statement is a question.
