Part 9/11:
Throughout, the dialogue reflects a deep skepticism about human nature's tendency toward hubris and authoritarianism. The speakers assert that absolute power often corrupts, and leaders can easily stray from democratic principles if given enough time or opportunity. The cautionary tales from history—such as Mao's brutal dictatorship or regimes that led to mass human deaths—serve as stark reminders of the consequences of overreach.
They argue that history supports the need for strict adherence to constitutional limits, especially in a democracy that values freedom, justice, and accountability. Any attempt to extend presidential terms beyond the constitutional limit is seen as dangerous and contrary to the core principles that prevent tyranny.
