No Kings Benjamin Franklin — Sweatshirt
A Republic, Kept
A republic got handed down on one condition, that it actually gets kept instead of handed back to a crown.
This phrase claims that keeping that condition honestly still matters, no crown earning a pass just because somebody wants to wear one.
It's a claim made like a promise that's still being kept generations later, for the ones doing their part to keep the republic exactly what it was built to be.
