Too bad that your "Democratic Republics" that replace monarchies usually turn into horrific tyrannies: France, Russia, Germany, China, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Romania, Albania...were those regimes your idea of "tasting freedom and not turning back"?

Not a single one of those "democracies" have the checks and balances of our Constitution. Of course, the modern European Republics are based on the American model.

Why did the American Constitution's alleged "checks and balances" fail to prevent the nationwide legalization of abortion on demand, to give only the most obvious example? What atrocity committed by monarchs comes close to this?
