; Republican Landmarks
: '''The 'Roman Republic' (509 BC)''' → The "Original Prototype": the "Citizens" "Threw out the King" and "Shared Power," creating the "Foundations of Civic Duty."
: '''The 'US Constitution' (1787)''' → A "Republican Experiment": it focused on "Preventing Faction" and "Separating Power" to stop "Domination."
: '''The 'Federalist Papers' ''' → (Madison/Hamilton). The "Greatest Work" of Republican Theory: explaining how a "Large Republic" can "Control the Ambition" of its leaders.
: '''Pettit’s 'Republicanism' (1997)''' → The "Modern Revival": he argued that "Universal Basic Income" is a "Republican Tool" because it "Gives People the Power to say No" to "Dominating Bosses."
