I then compared thi... Read Full Story

Connor Boyack pointed out the problem in his excellent article, “The Problematic Inward Vessel.” A major point made that it was Nephites, dissenting Nephites, and not Lamanites per se, who were responsible for inciting the Lamanites to go to war against the Nephites.
Additionally Connor points out [emphasis is mine]:

Arguably the best form of government is that of rule by a righteous king. By simply having all the powers of
Charles Pinckney
execution, legislation, and justice combined in one, a righteous King is able to quickly pass good laws, give quick dispatch to enforcing those laws, protect the nation against enemies, domestic and foreign, and give
