So basically we replaced a monarchy with an empire... now led by someone less functional than King George.

Yay us!

Nice try.

We never had a (de facto) monarchy and in a relatively short time, adopted a Representative Republic.

Your sin nature and mine contributed to the demise of our Republic, which we apparently COULDN'T keep.
