Explain the ideology of Revolutionary Republicanism which inspired actions and hopes of Americans in immediate aftermath of Declaration of Independence. Why was the republic supposed to be radical (and even utopian) concept of government? What was supposed to be crucial ingredient essential for people to maintain republic? Why was self-interest ("corruption") supposed to be fatal to republic's survival? Why, despite these dire prospects, did many Americans in 1776 suppose that they would be able to successfully sustain the republic?
