We became
a republic
when Washington
said ‘NO’
“Only debate
and compromise
hold a democracy
together”
Every man
given power
is at risk
to abuse it
Three branches
of government
our Founder’s
great gift
Ambition
counters ambition
when authority
is shared
To check and
to balance
as the voters
— hold sway
(America’s 250th: July, 2026)
