"There is no good government but what is republican. That
the only valuable part of the British constitution is so; for the true
idea of a republic is 'an empire of laws, and not of men.' That,as a
republic is the best of governments, so that particular arrangement of
the powers of society, or in other words, that form of government which
is best contrived to secure an impartial and exact execution of the law,
is the best of republics." --John Adams, Thoughts on Government, 1776
