Doctrine and Covenants

These include the offer and acceptance of a contract, lawful consideration, competent parties, and lawful purposes. Each of these elements must be present to be considered a contract.

Hereditary Representative Democracy King Mosiah introduced an assembly of rulers sustained by the people from a cast of representative judges. The judges formed the authoritative group who vouchsafed, interpreted and enforced the laws of the nation. These judges inherited their offices through what can be called a hereditary democracy because no judge ruled over the people without the consent of the majority and could be replaced depending on the will of the people.

doing – and commands it” (59). Commanding the law of nature sets a standard on people’s human rights. With this law, human rights are not jeopardized by individuals that live a destructive life.
