Since a republican government has its powers defined, and the reason those powers are defined is to limit the exercise of them over the areas of sovereignty held by the states and people, then a consitution that gives complete power of regulation and prohibition to the republican governemnt over every object, and activity related to that object, in the nation, one could say that it is no constitution, and does not limit the powers of that government. Therefore the government is not a republic.

Do you agree?

I agree. Though I'm not familiar with any constitution that does that.
