IN AN ERA when people are more than happy to exclaim their love of freedom, liberty, and independence while disempowering themselves by clasping to authority to use collective power to control their neighbors, The Informed Republic dives into the ideals and actions of what makes a republic and why democracy is the recipe for destruction. Through a general examination of history this book informs the average person of the actual use and record of republics the US Founders themselves researched so it might be achieved today in purer form. Through historical reviews, philosophy, educational insight, current events, comparisons to modern systems of democracy and how a republic is secured - the truth of republic will be revealed.
Well-known historians of old and some of the world's greatest thinkers on liberty are referenced, such as: Socrates, Marcus Tullius Cicero, Niccolò Machiavelli, John Locke and American Founders such as Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. Prepare yourself to be exposed to positions on the subject of individual liberty your schooling only half-heartedly taught you, so that you would think you were free enough to do as you are told.
After this work, you will KNOW what true freedom and liberty are.
