3. Copley identifies the U.S. Constitution as a "de facto crown" providing stability, though it has become dangerously "frozen". He observes that the United States is approaching the 250-year average lifespan of empires, causing internal divisions over the Constitution’s validity. Furthermore, he argues that a noble state relies on a "belief in beliefs," where leadership is imbued with mysticism. This continuity allows a monarch to serve as an ideal representative. Conversely, modern republics increasingly favor short-term, transactional democracy over durable values, leading to a breakdown in the rules of the nation-state. (3)
