Powel asked Benjamin Franklin what type of gov’t the Founders had created. Franklin replied w/ these words: “A republic, if you can keep it.”

Mrs. Powel’s ? demonstrates that it was not inevitable that America would be a democratic republic in 1787.
⚖️#RodRosensteinSpeech⚖️

Franklin’s answer reminds us that it was not inevitable that America would remain a democratic republic.

The Constitution comes with a condition: you need to keep it.
⚖️#RodRosensteinSpeech3⚖️

Franklin used the word “keep” as an active verb. It means there are things you need to do, if you want to preserve it.

But it remains essential for citizens to understand the legal principles that undergird the Constitution.
⚖️#RodRosensteinSpeech7⚖️

Our system of government is not self-executing. It relies on wisdom and self-restraint. In a democratic republic, liberty is protected by cultural norms as well as by constitutional text.
⚖️#RodRosensteinSpeech8⚖️

Lawyers bear a solemn responsibility to defend Constitutional principles, particularly government lawyers.
⚖️#RodRosensteinSpeech9⚖️

The Department of Justice must never be a partisan actor. In all cases, agents and prosecutors are obligated to make neutral decisions, preserve personal privacy, protect national security, and insulate investigations from political interference.
