Very well. What term would you use for the type of government advocated by what I deemed "theocrats"?

From what I can tell it would be the government of the United States as it existed in the time of Tocqueville. I am not going to coin a name, but it is the government described not only by Tocqueville but by Mr. Justice Story. In his
"A Familiar Exposition of the Constitution of the United States. "(184O) It is a view that Ed Meese applauds in his foreard to the 1997 Regnery edition. But I will venture a name: a Republic-- of a type unknown to European liberalism, one in which religion and government existed in harmony.
