The American Republics Demise

The American Republic’s Demise is a structural examination of how the United States gradually shifted from a constitutionally limited republic toward a centralized administrative state without formally abandoning its founding framework. Rather than arguing through outrage or partisanship, the book traces patterns of fiscal expansion, regulatory growth, judicial interpretation, delegated rulemaking, and crisis-driven federalization to show how power consolidated over time through process rather than revolution. It explores how rising incarceration, public and private debt, bureaucratic density, civic disengagement, and managed compliance may reflect deeper institutional incentives that favor administration over dispersed self-governance. The work does not claim the Constitution disappeared; it argues that interpretation, scale, and incentive structures altered how it operates in practice. Ultimately, the book invites readers to reconsider whether modern American governance still reflects the philosophical foundations of a decentralized republic—or whether it has evolved into a system defined more by professional management than active citizenship.
