Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall, when the wise are banished from the public councils, because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are rewarded, because they flatter the people in order...
Joseph Story
There is no question but that the laws and principles which Solon laid down both foreshadowed and prepared the way for all republics of later ages, including our own.
Robert Welch
The three largest republics in the world - China, Brazil, and the United States, - were drawn into the war on the side of the Entente Allies.
