At the close of the 1787 Constitutional Convention, Mrs. Powel of Philadelphia asked Benjamin Franklin, “Well Doctor what have we got, a republic or a monarchy.” Franklin replied, “A republic . . . if you can keep it.

Franklin’s response is a reminder that it is the responsibility of the citizens to defend their republic. Join us for a discussion of three avenues of engagement: State Legislatures, Education, and Political Parties.
