"When colonial Americans declared their independence on July 4 1776, they
rejected more than British rule. They explicitly denounced the British form of
government and the unlegislated norms, traditions and conventions a royal head
of government entailed.
The recent hearings of the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 2021
attack on the US Capitol has made clear that efforts to resist the monarchical
model remain unfinished.
The central question at hand: is the nation’s democracy ensured by allegiance
to its constitution or to its leaders?"
