Understanding this quote
The speaker argues that republicanism has not yet been given a genuinely fair chance to succeed. “Fair trial” is a comparison to a legal test: the idea may have been judged without being fully or properly tried. The statement does not explain why this happened; it simply claims that the world has not yet provided a true test of republican government.
