 Republic Quotes/Quotations
This office being hereditary, and being possessed of such ample and splendid prerogatives, is no objection to the government's being a republic, as long as it is bound by fixed laws, which the people have a voice in making, and a right to defend.
And it is [the] reservation of fundamentals, of the right of giving instructions, and of new elections, which creates a popular check, upon the whole government which alone secures the constitution from becoming an aristocracy, or a mixture of monarchy and aristocracy only.
Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion, whose morality is so sublime and pure (and) which insures to the good eternal happiness, are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments.

The republic effectively ended today with the signing of the “Military Commissions Act.”   This law made into a farce the “Great Republic” as Winston Churchill described the United States.  The forms continue but the substance is gone.
In the Chinese dynastic model, the initial establishment of order as a new dynasty’s founder demonstrates he has the mandate of heaven is easier going than the later reform of that dynasty when it’s fallen into corruption and is at risk of losing the mandate.
In theory a dynasty could renew itself again and again, as virtuous emperors replace foolish or wicked ones, but in practice, enough bad rulers in a row and heaven withdraws its mandate, the dynasty collapses, and someone else gets the job of establishing justice and order.
