Law, morality, and re-founding of the republic - Part 2

THIS second part of “No Kings” turns from the social to the institutional, tracing how Sri Lanka’s republican ideal has been hollowed out by judicial compromise, constitutional distortion, and selective enforcement. It revisits the 1988 Fourteenth Amendment and the inertia of the 2023 Anti-Corruption Act to show how law has become theatre while impunity endures. Drawing on Eliot Cohen’s idea of political gravity and David Brooks's call for moral mobilisation, it argues that reform must join moral clarity, civic organisation, and programmatic precision. The essay concludes with a call for a People’s Constitution — abolishing the Executive Presidency, restoring parliamentary primacy, and re-anchoring the Republic in Cicero’s ideal: law above rulers, not rulers above law.
