A PERSONAL COLUMN

A lot of things, both’

about American politics, but
everyone must agree that
they're both colorful and in-

The Republic was set up
by Congress on July 4, 1776,
when the Declaration of In-
dependence was ado) . In
1789 a new constitution was
adopted, based on the separ-
ation of powers, and-the fun

started.
