"And behold, now I say unto you, ye cannot dethrone an iniquitous king (ruler) save it be through much contention, and the shedding of much blood.
"For behold, he has his friends in iniquity, and he keepeth his guards about him; and he teareth up the laws of those who have reigned in righteousness before him; and he trampleth under his feet the commandments of God;
"And he enacteth laws, and sendeth them forth among his people, yea, laws after the manner of his own wickedness; and whosoever doth not obey his laws he causeth to be destroyed; and whosoever doth rebel against him he will send his armies against them to war, and if he can he will destroy them; and thus an unrighteous king (ruler) doth pervert the ways of all righteousness."
-King Mosiah, about 92 B.C.
(Mosiah 29:21-23)
