For those who have suffered the indignity of witnessing the perennial degradation of Constitutional principles in America, here is a vague, partially inaccurate but still properly cautionary comparison of America's metamorphosis to the Roman Revolution, i.e. the transformative process where absolutism came to replace both practical and, in many cases, nominal republican forms of government. The relevant piece is "The Scourge of Militarism: Rome and America" by Chalmers Johnson and is located about two pages down.
