Helaman 1:1-10

Could only Pahoran’s sons be the next judge? It is an interesting combination of monarchy and a republic. It is also interesting that Helaman, or maybe Mormon, see it as bad that there were multiple contenders, and that it caused division. I suppose it is like all of life, where the difficulty and struggle of democracy are necessary. The best things in life, including freedom, are hard fought for. And sometimes that includes accepting leaders that were not your choice for the good of the whole. It is easy to see here that the people who lost the election should have supported those who won, but hard to see that in real life. This all seems so pertinent and important in the current political climate with Trump and Hillary and the nation so venomous and divided.
