You weren’t born ‘independent of any slime of royalty’. The system of government you live under was based on many much older English values.
The Declaration and Constitution didn’t exactly spring fully-formed from the brows of our American founders. They were informed by, and an evolution of, much older English concepts - some of which were signed into English law by ‘royal slime’, like the Magna Carta was.
I win’t arrgue your point? because I did not speak ‘of values’
I spoke that here in America, although drooled and fantasized by yhe media, there exists no monarchy.
