Good historical arguments for a monarchical mixed system:
Britain, Napoleonic France, and Prussia. I would name more but those are the best three.
Though I would argue Napoleon was Europe's last chance.
Good arguments for Republicanism:
Venice
Only one.
Compare the scale and who had the more lasting impact.
Pure Republics end up as Plutocracies beholden to economical interests alone. Also providing little to no actual change due to the false belief in choice. I certainly don't know who counts the votes or if your vote is even counted. Can any of you prove it?
With a tyrant atleast the pitch fork is easy to point.
That's my two cents and I'll let other people do more research into the topic. This a topic hard to get into considering the 10+ generations long fetishization of modernity and the "Enlightenment".
