This song echoes Benjamin Franklin’s famous response after the Constitutional Convention of 1787, when asked what kind of government the new nation would have: “A republic, if you can keep it.” It reflects the tension between the ideals of liberty and the challenges of maintaining a democratic government. Franklin and other Founding Fathers understood that the new republic would be fragile, requiring constant vigilance and the active participation of the people. The song explores themes of power, justice, and the delicate balance between freedom and authority, emphasizing the ongoing responsibility to preserve the republic through unity, truth, and civic duty.

This song portrays Benjamin Franklin’s crucial role at the Constitutional Convention of 1787. At 81 years old, Franklin was the eldest delegate, known for his wisdom and ability to mediate contentious debates. He advocated for compromise, helping to bridge divides between large and small states, which led to the "Great Compromise" establishing the Senate and House of Representatives. Franklin believed that unity was essential for the survival of the new nation, and his influence helped shape the U.S. Constitution. As the convention concluded, Franklin famously remarked that the sun painted on George Washington's chair symbolized the rising sun of a new nation.

Rise

"The Junto Club" captures the intellectual and civic spirit of the club Benjamin Franklin founded in 1727. The Junto was a gathering of Philadelphia’s brightest minds, focused on self-improvement, philosophy, and practical solutions for the city’s challenges. Members debated a wide range of topics, from morality to civic infrastructure, leading to the creation of public institutions like libraries, fire brigades, and educational initiatives. The song reflects the club’s role in shaping Philadelphia and Franklin’s vision for community-driven progress, emphasizing the blend of inquiry and action that defined the Junto’s legacy.
