March 29th, 2023 Latin of the Day - "Regnat Populus"
"Regnat Populus"
"The people rule" - the motto of the state of Arkansas. The original motto, dating back to at least 1836, was Regnant Populi (intending the meaning of the current motto, but inadvertently implying multiple peoples ruling), but it was emended in an act approved by Governor Xenephon O. Pindall on May 24, 1907 - and how great is THAT name?
