“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.”

    We didn’t decide to abolish social structures though. Ever. And it is something the same as fire. We don’t abolish fire. We won’t ever stop having social structures.

      I’m not saying abolish social structures altogether, I’m saying change them, and we change them all the time too.
