I feel like this is an extremely unpopular opinion but I really don't think republicanism was a step forward for humanity.
Monarchy is the most intuitive form of government. People tend to take care of what they own, and politicians have no incentive to leave anything better for the next generation because they really have no stake in their country. Their legacy dies with them.
A monarchy with constitutional (and familial) checks and balances is vastly preferable to a republic where the foreign interests run free and loot the taxpayers. It's pure and much simpler. No Congress, no Supreme Court, no ridiculous sham elections. Everyone knows who's in charge and what the rules are.
Cringe post - KeK!
We are supposed to be a government for the people by the people. Only land owners were allowed to vote - that was your vested interest in taking care of what you own.
You would serve your term and go back home when replaced by another of the people to server a term or two then go home. It has been systematically dismantled by those who want to be your kings, lords and governors and we the people have been replaced by those professional polititians and organizations (uniparty).
Nothing against you but A Hard No on your opinion. Thanks for the post :-)
I'm still not fully sure how I feel about only land owners voting.
It sounds like the better practice, but then wealthy entities could simply prevent land ownership entirely.
