“But over time, the executive branch grew exceedingly powerful. Two world wars emphasized the president’s commander in chief role and removed constraints on its power. By the second half of the 20th century, the republic was routinely fighting wars without its legislative branch, Congress, declaring war, as the Constitution required. With Congress often paralyzed by political conflict, presidents increasingly governed by edicts.”
My interest in asking was if you meant nonviolent action or violent action. For your information, Americans are doing nonviolent action currently including some, if not all of the things you listed. We definitely need to do more and thank you for the list.
My concern was derived from the fact that
most peopleit feels like most people on this site mean violent action when they say something like meaningful action. And I didn’t want to assume you either were in that camp or didn’t know about recent American protests.For a reference to what I’m talking about here’s a recent post. The post itself is fine, but the comment section contains multiple calls to violence.
