"What about justice then? For the use or acquisition of what
would you say it is useful in peacetime?"
"Contracts, Socrates."
"Do you mean by contracts, partnerships, or something else?"
"Partnerships, of course."
Plato's Republic

A republick = A pile of People that understand and strengthen a worthy common cause = thesis.
A democracy = A pile of People that shit on a worthy common cause = antithesis.

Contracts are carved into stone, more authoritarian.
Partnerships are more voluntary on an ongoing basis, more liberty.
Libertarian Republic, for the win. We had it for a while, but let it slip away.

Stick with de Tocqueville and La Rochefoucauld - the former understood the essence of our form of government, and nobody ever wrote perceptively about the true ways of the human heart than the latter.
