In times of crisis republics exercise despotic powers, meaning those not authorized by their constitutions. Laws passed in and justified by pressing times too often remain after the return of peace.

During war, some Natural Law and Constitutional limitations go by the wayside as citizens find themselves, for instance, in involuntary servitude as military draftees. Similarly, property is at risk when government commandeers industries.

Although it must be this way when wars of survival jeopardize the unalienable rights and lives of one and all, the solution isn’t to sully the Constitution. Instead, the proper approach is to temporarily and Constitutionally step outside the civil boundaries of the Constitution.

Republics and Dictators.
