    Existence of the republic:

    quae lex ad imperium, ad majestatem, ad statum patriae, ad salutem omnium pertinet,

    si enim status erit aliquis civitatis, quicunque erit,

    atque hoc loquor de tribus his generibus rerum publicarum non perturbatis atque permixtis, sed suum statum tenentibus,

    preserving their essential features, Cic. Rep. 1, 28, 44.—Hence,
    2.
    Esp. in rhet. jurisp.
    (α).
    The answer to the action (acc. to Cic., because the defence: primum insistit in eo = the Gr. stasis):

    refutatio accusationis appellatur Latine status, in quo primum insistit quasi ad repugnandum congressa defensio,

    Cic. Top. 25, 93; so,

    statu (sic enim appellamus controversiarum genera),

    statum quidam dixerunt primam causarum conflictionem,

    Quint. 3, 6, 4; cf. Cic. Part. Or. 29, 102.—
    (β).
    The main question, the essential point:

    quod nos statum id quidam constitutionem vocant, alii quaestionem, alii quod ex quaestione appareat, Theodorus caput, ad quod referantur omnia,

    Quint. 3, 6, 2:

    non est status prima conflictio, sed quod ex primā conflictione nascitur, id est genus quaestionis,

    the kind, nature of the question, id. 3, 6, 5; cf. the whole chapter.—
    E.
    In gram., the mood of the verb, instead of modus, because it distinguishes the conceptions of the speaker:

    et tempora et status,

    tenses and moods, Quint. 9, 3, 11:

    fiunt soloecismi per modos, sive cui status eos dici placet,

    id. 1, 5, 41.
    ► For statu liber, v.
    statuliber.
