Both parties were absolutists about their imagined powers..

Owning land doesn't give you godlike powers over your peers.

Nor does administrating our laws give you godlike powers over your peers.

We've written a Constitution to guide us about abusing power. Amazing how so few of us admit we are ALL bound to honor the document.
