Article IV Section. 4.
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened), against domestic Violence.
Hmmm... PUBLIUS was very specific and clear on the limited role of a federal government and the ill effects of democracy.
To enrich the quality of life for the community by providing activities and events that promote education, health and wellness, and the arts. To preserve local history through the arts and education.
