"Government by kings was first introduced into
the world by the Heathens, from whom the children of Israel
copied the custom. It was the most prosperous invention the
Devil ever set on foot for the promotion of idolatry."
"But where, say some, is the King of America?
I'll tell you, friend, he reigns above, and doth not make havoc
of mankind
like the Royal Brute of Great Britain.... so far as we approve
of monarchy, that in America the law is king."
Thomas Paine in his booklet - "Common
Sense"
