The corruption

Yeah in general at its most basic level corruption really did kill it, but it's strange cause the whole system was based on corruption.

What you mean?

>>1870075
Really hard to accurately describe it in a format like 4chan and I'm not nearly knowlegible to give a good summary, but I will see what I can do. But so much of the running of the government was based on bribes, emporers bribing the army to remail loyal rich people paying people to follow them around being it was in fashion to have a large posse, selling the right to collect taxes to private individuals, appointments to most positions based on political connections or how much you could bribe others to agree to appoint you. It was expected as a govern that you would be corrupt so our could make money. I mean there were some lights but most of it was very corrupt. But this interconnecting corruption kept the whole system afloat until it lost balance.

>American Federal Republicanism

>Evolution into a two-party system with little outside competition early in its history, political polarization of the voting masses because of this, distrust of the system by the general population, voter apathy, the modern presidential campaign fuelled literally by social media memes, overcomplicated election system on the federal level, massive bureaucracy involving tens of millions of federal employees, and lastly blaming these problems on ethnically and culturally diverse immigrants

Constitutional monarchy of Piedmont-Sardinia. Kept good elements of traditionalism but embraced enlightenment ideas such as a secular government and free trade. Destroyed by the unification of Italy

Oye fuck off
>>1871830
I would say that France only existed for a republic for an exceedingly short period of time and that was after the revolution was basically over.

>>1871862
Curious if you could give me a time period on when you think it died
>>1871865
United the north and south was honestly a mistake.

So you're saying that we will go around in our orbit and reach that highpoint again?
