For what reasons did a large shift of governmental power occur?

Thomas R. Valletta

“Greed and lust for power lead people to tamper with the laws designed to protect and prevent exploitation of all citizens. … If the majority permit changes in the laws, either by apathy or through ever growing numbers of people who are tempted and confused about right and wrong, the stage is set for the judgments of the Almighty, for he will not allow such wickedness to continue” (Brinley, “Promised Land and Its Covenant Peoples,” 51).
