Much Latin ... Here's some Latin as a background on these words.
Est igitur res publica res populi, populus autem non omnis hominum coetus quoquo modo congregatus, sed coetus multitudinis iuris consensu et utilitatis communione sociatus

Homo est animal rationale
Nobody said that a man is rational - yet that doesn't make him irrational
For a good debate it would be essential to establish some definitions first.

I don't even know where to start.
I'm not enjoying this :D
