The story has been told and retold. Itâs been said that Benjamin Franklin had just walked outside of Independence Hall after the Constitutional Convention in 1787 when someone inquired, âDoctor, what have we got? A republic or a monarchy?â Franklin is said to have responded: âA republic, if you can keep it.â

According to the Washington Post, it first appeared in 1906 in the American Historical Review. âThe Review was publishing for the first time the notes of James McHenry, a Maryland Delegate to the Constitutional Convention. The notes are both more and less specific than the legend,â claims the Post.
