After the 1787 Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, Benjamin Franklin was asked what type of government we have. He replied, "A republic, if you can keep it ... keeping government honest and hence our freedoms intact requires eternal vigilance."
"In the councils of government, we must guard against the
acquisition of unwarranted influence,
whether sought or unsought, by the
military-industrial complex. The potential
for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist."

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth
