"The true principle of a republic is that……" — Alexander Hamilton

"The true principle of a republic is that the people should choose whom they please to govern them. Representation is imperfect, in proportion as the current of popular favor is checked. The great source of free government, popular election, should be perfectly pure, and the most unbounded liberty allowed."

Alexander Hamilton
