Legislation Effect Explanation
This law is bound to have signficant effects on both the country's people and government. Specifically, this new legislation gives the current president a dangerous amount of power that could possibly lead to absolutism and authoritarianism. Absolutism: The law decreases other political bodies' power when it comes choosing whose in charge by basically getting rid of elections. Consequently, the power of the checks and balances system is decreased, allowing for one unit of the government to gain a large, pepetual grasp on power. Authoritarianism: Typically when indefinite power is gained, the person in possession grows desire to hold on to it. Sometimes, this is so much so that they'd do anything to keep it. This can lead to events like oppresion of natrual rights like life, liberty, and freedom of speech. An example was the killing of peasceful protesters for civil rule by the Chadian miltary, released by former president, whose term was 30 years.

- "Too often we... enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought" - J.F.K.
Personally, I disagree with the passing of Chad's new law. Given Chad’s government’s ill-nature, I disagree with its autocrazation and diminution of the value and power of natural human rights. Compared to life in America--a democratic government supportive of access to natural human rights, and abilities like free speech and self sovereignty--life in Chad would be insufferably oppressive on many Americans’ typical contemporary life, including mine. I personally value these things, and could not bare to have them taken away. Ergo, I harbor personal condemnation for Chad’s current government’s actions and sympathy for the country’s people.
