 The founders had had their fill of a king. They wanted a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. What gave me the feeling was the difference between the expression, on the one hand, we must, which is what you tend to hear in a State of the Union speech to Congress, we must do this, we must do that. And on the other hand, I will. That's the wording of the divine right of kings, and we heard it again and again during the campaign.
