For all truly objective students of history
The Founders and Framers were heaven sent
Scholars, philosophers and principled statesmen
Most thoughtful, insightful and circumspect
As they formed an exceptional new nation
By refusing to remain the king's subjects
Seeking historical wisdom from the likes of
Charles de Montesquieu, John Locke and Adam Smith
Careful to avoid an outright democracy
A system seen as having numerous defects
Far preferring one of genuine self-governance
They agreed on a Constitutional Republic
A government composed of three separate branches
The judicial, legislative, and executive
To prevent the usurpation of our precious liberty
By Autocrats spewing lies and invective
