| Abstract | The book of Mosiah ends with a dramatic rearrangement in Zarahemla’s political landscape. Mosiah not only abdicated his throne; he symbolically destroyed it. He dissolved a monarchy in favor of a government headed by judges. What was this new government? How did it compare to the government by a king? |
