Republic If You Can Keep It T-Shirt

Republic If You Can Keep It Upon walking out of Independence Hall after the Constitutional Convention in 1787, Benjamin Franklin was asked a provocative question.  Someone shouted out, “Doctor, what have we got? A republic or a monarchy?” To which Franklin supposedly responded, with a rejoinder at once witty and ominous: “A republic, if you can keep it.” His quote was meant to serve as a warning. Our republic is fragile and volatile. It requires great care and protection if we want to maintain it.    Fit: AthleticMaterial: 60% cotton / 40% polyesterSizes:        Small - 3XLFeatures:        4.3 oz.        fabric laundered for reduced shrinkage        1x1 baby rib-knit set-in collar Available in: Black, Heavy Metal Grey, Military Green, Red, and White.
