Well? It was in the ancient days, not even in brutal medieval age and only a brute can idolize such old leaders in means of dictatorship or one man rule after SOME HUNDRED YEARS the amendment and constitution are declared IN THE MIDDLE OF 21ST CENTURY, NAMELY 'SUPPOSEDLY SPACE AGE!!'

Smart analysis. This has been my soapbox for a minute. The Nazi thing is real but the transition from the Republic to the Empire is terribly apt. May we (please) pay a little attention to history. As a Humanities (Philosophy and Religion) gal I was disturbed by the Uni stats. Keep up the good work.
There are lots of parallels in history. I would jump to Hitler pressuring the Centre Party to sign the Enabling Act giving him dictator powers before I’d go to Caesar.
