Benjamin Franklin 1778 response to a question

 Benjamin Franklin response to a question if the United States of America was a republic or a monarch. He responded “A republic, if you can keep it “.   I would think he is implying that nations have risen and fallen in the past (Roman empire and Chinese dynasty to name a few).  I surely hope the United States of America would continue as a republic if they continue to work for the common goods of the nation.
