Alma 2:3
Upon hearing the calls be the followers of Amlici the faithful members of the church were alarmed. They knew that if the majority of people sought a king that they could legally establish a king. If such a thing happened today our leaders would not say ” don’t vote for Amlici” despite the fact that his desire and intent was to destroy the church of God. They would instead call upon the members of the church to be active in the voting and tell them that they ought to oppose any monarchy. No need to mention Amlici by name.
