An interesting example with some inflamatory rhetoric, but coupled with his resignation which is all he has left...

But surely in the multi-millions of Republicans, they could find someone who could also appoint those judges, but not have the myriad moral failings that Trump does. For surely if they can't, then they're doomed to failure and misery sooner or later.

ch 4 Qs

SPQR ch 4 Qs:

1) What is the fundamental principle of a republic?

2) How did Republicans 300 B.C. define manliness? 

3) What is a "libertus"?

4) Explain the difference between plebeians and 
   patricians.

5) When did the plebeians get legislative rights and 
   why?

6) Name the new plebeian freedoms.

7) When was the Republican army centralized and why 
   is that important?

8) What were the differences between the Macedonian 
   army (Alexander the Great) and the Roman 
   Republican army?  

This is written like straight up State Propaganda.

Meliora students, how and why did the Republican Party get founded? What were the initial "planks" in its platform? Summarize and cite your source(s).

This sounds like a precursor to the idea of republican motherhood. This became popular in the 20th century and used by feminists to support gaining rights, even as republican motherhood is advocating for women to stay home and raise children. The idea is women are valuable because they instill/protect American values in their children and husbands. It seems that Willard and the women we read last week are making similar moves: motherhood is often used against women, but women counter that motherhood is the very reason they need education, literacy, suffrage--so they can become better mothers and protect, not just national, but religious values.
