In a thought-provoking short story, Twain envisions a republic where every citizen holds at least one vote, with opportunities to gain additional votes through education or wealth. Education is freely provided by the state, emphasizing the importance of knowledge in governance. Public office candidates must also pass rigorous competitive exams, ensuring that only the most qualified individuals serve. This narrative explores themes of democracy, education, and meritocracy in a satirical context.
