Republic

Autor Anonymous
en Limba Engleză Paperback
Republic - The Case Against The Monarchy, is a call for the move from a monarchy to a democratic republic. In Part I, the author takes aim at the principles behind the monarchy itself, from the earliest days of kings and chieftains, to the divine right to rule, to the principle of heredity, the role of the monarch, the numerous and far reaching powers that are enjoyed by the head of state, the effects on the populace, and the number of unworthy successors that are lining up to take the throne. In Part II, the most common arguments for keeping the monarchical institution are examined and debunked, the author showing that at best they are a minor distraction from the main issues, at worst a simpering compromise. Here, value for money, charity, tradition, grandeur, charisma, and tourism are all shown to be fallacious as valid reasons for the continuation of the monarchy. In Part III, the ways and means of transitioning to a republic are studied. It is here where the author sets out their Declaration, and also drafts a Bill of Rights, as inspiration for others to keep the light of reason lit against those who would do all they can to extinguish it. Scathing in its indictment, ruthless in its attack, Republic is the most damning case yet written against one of the most controversial institutions in the modern world.
