Yeah, it’s wierd, but my text book says he was this modest guy, which I swear i read on the internet saying he spent a lot of money on personal things and was very spoiled and stuff like that.

In my government class, we learned about the Constitutional Convention and how some woman asked Benjamin Franklin whether the Constitution established a republic or monarchy. He said to her: "A republic, madam, if you can keep it." I don’t understand what he meant by this, can anyone explain it to me? Thank you! :)
