My best guess is the selective service act (s.s.a.)

The system employed in the US for recruitment during WWI was <u>formally denominated Conscription but commonly known as the draft.</u>

<u> </u>President Wilson, in 1917, decided to implement this mechanism in order to reach the 1 million target after the failure of voluntary enlistment that only recruited 73,000 volunteers. In order to optimize the contribution of each person, depending on his personal skills, the The Selective Service Act of 1917 was carefully designed and enacted to achieve so. It turned military service into a liability for all US male citizens, initially those who were between 21 and 31, and later on those between 18 and 45, to enhance the recruitment numbers. It was not possible to be exempted from this military service.

Distrust of a single leader with absolute power
Gre4nikov [31]
<span>Distrust of a single leader with absolute power can occur because that leader may act like a dictator. They may make the people under their rule do extreme things, such as when Adolf Hitler demanded the killing of all Jews. Additionally, riots and arguing could occur when the people disagree with what the leader is doing. If a fair government is to occur, there must be a division of power and the people must have a say in what happens.</span>
