“A Republic If You Can Keep It!" Have We?
Is it possible to preserve a large republic or were the anti-federalists right that only a small republic is possible to preserve? This was a major debate among the founding fathers and it still rages on today. Join our panel and special guest Professor Gordon Lloyd of the Pepperdine School of Public Policy as we discuss the nature of a republic; “the extended commercial republic,” republic vs. democracy; the difference between “Whigs” and “Old Whigs” and how all of this is relevant today!
