Alexander William Salter traces the origin of the American Republic, from the Biblical stories of the children of Israel, through the Greek philosophers and playwrights, the Roman republic and the British "glorious revolution" that banished Catholicism from our monarchy and instituted the 1689 Bill of Rights.
