A sturdy old woman, wearing a shawl, approached Benjamin Franklin and asked him, “well, Doctor, what do we have, a republic or a monarchy?” Franklin replied sagely, “a republic, if you can keep it”. She said, “and why not keep it?” And Franklin continued, “because the people, on tasting the dish, are always disposed to eat more of it than does them good.”
The United States Constitution "guarantee[s] to every State in this Union a Republican form of Government" in this union nobody refers to the republic of America
