We’re going to see if the country is run by laws, or this country is run by power. Too many have fantasized about ruling by power.

Every nation is run by both. That’s why the U.S. government was set up to have checks and balances. Clearly it’s not perfect, but no system is. At the end of the day, it’s a nation’s people that ultimately decide how their government behaves, even if that’s by apathy.

It’s not always a fair or balanced system though, some examples include the electoral college and voter disenfranchisement.
To be fair, also the state of Washington, Madison and 6 other presidents, more than any other state 🤷
