Like that was the solution to now living with, with new families and, and people with different ideas, you know, instead of defaulting towards the easy, you know, the quote unquote easy route of autocracy, you know, they decided like, we're going to, you know, build new institutions and,
as a response to immigration and population growth and living with diverse peoples in our community.
