Summary
Today David looks at what was meant by the term "republic" prior to the constitutional revolutions throughout Europe in 1848, their meaning when Benjamin Franklin remarked that our nation was founded as.a republic, and whether we still have a republic. The change in meaning to the present is very revealing, telling us what must change in politics, law, and the church.
