Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a monthly magazine from 1869, explores the principles of 1776 and 1787 through the lens of historical events. The author argues that the true republican or democratic form of government is decentralized, where power originates and is held by the people themselves. Monarchy and despotism, on the other hand, are centralized, where all power proceeds from a central point, leaving the mass of people without free choice in their rulers and laws. This timely analysis of the dangers of centralized power and the importance of decentralized government remains relevant today, offering valuable insights into how power structures can impact society and individual freedoms.
