*HELP ASAP I HAVE 20 MINS AND IT NEEDS TO HAVE AT LEAST 2-3 SENTENCES PLEASE!*

As Benjamin Franklin was leaving the last session of the Continental Congress, a woman asked, "Well, Doctor, what have we got: a republic or a monarchy?" Franklin answered. "A republic, if you can keep it."

What do you think Benjamin Franklin meant by his remark?
