commonwealth

Body politic founded on law for the common ‘weal’ or good. Political philosophers of the 17th century, such as Thomas Hobbes and John Locke, used the term to mean an organized political community. In Britain it is specifically applied to the period between 1649 and 1660 when, after the execution of Charles I in the English Civil War, England was a republic.

‘Commonwealth’ is the official designation in the USA for the states of Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Kentucky.
