The Principle of Extraordinary Powers in Times of Political Breakdown
This chapter explores the principle that extraordinary powers will be invoked to preserve the political order when it breaks down. The hosts discuss how this principle has been defended by the American Founding Fathers and observe the justification of political violence throughout history. They also highlight the potential consequences and concerns regarding chaos and anarchy, particularly in relation to civil war and armed insurrection.
