Here are some links so you can update yourself about the "Dutch" Republic. I will be reading these too.
In ‘s Nederlands:
Often the same information, but still valuable.

Van Republiek naar Koninkrijk en terug naar Republiek:

"Niet voor niets is in artikel 2 van deze nieuwe Grondwet vastgelegd dat het doel van de Republiek het geluk van de burger is"
"...goal of the Republic is the happiness of the citizen..."
This has to be specified. When I'm happy, it doesn't automatically mean my neighbour is too. A subjective aspect like "happiness" can't be used as a foundation to build a constitution on, I think. So maybe we don't need a specification.

The Netherlands is already a republic. I think, of all articles about the Netherlands and the Dutch Republic, this is my favourite: http://www.liberalemedia.nl/politiek/1403-nederland-is-een-republiek. Think whatever you want, there are good and bad points made. I can at least kick against crown and article (I know that sounds contradictory), and maybe I will on this blog.
