Conclusion
It is the consent of the governed written and
spoken about for centuries that is so crucial to
a republic’s establishment and maintenance.
Just how the government represents its
people, who it allows to vote, who may be
elected and by what means is fundamentally
up to the people in a republican government.
When the people find it necessary, they have
the power to change the way a republic
works, and it is important for the maintenance
of this republic that all people in the United
States continue to help the power flow from
the people to the republic.
