Donald Livingston: The United States is not a republic, but a federation of republics – and the federation itself cannot be referred to as a republic.

The Founders referred to their creation as a republic and built in safeguards against the rise of democracy, which they viewed as mob rule. Professor Donald Livingston instructs us that the United States is not a republic, but a federation of republics – and the federation itself cannot be referred to as a republic.

Jefferson’s revolution of 1800 election temporarily ended the Federalist Party’s quest to mold the United States into an aristocratic and centralized nation, though encroachments of federal power upon the States continued through the Supreme Court (“sappers and miners”), centralized banking, special interest protectionism — and finally the creation of the States, the federal agent — waging war upon States that rightly opposed the encroachments. The new Republican Party of Lincoln was an incarnation of Adam’s Federalist Party, and empowered by the protectionist and banking interests of New England.
