“Well, Doctor, what have we got—a Republic or a Monarchy?”  “A Republic, if you can keep it.”  Benjamin Franklin to an inquiry as he departed the 1787 Constitutional Convention.

Benjamin Franklin:  1787

 

"Unfortunately, too many Americans consider the search for liberty as at an end, as if it had been secured and made safe for all time by the founding fathers.

William James Sidis:  1935
