1 Use executive orders sparingly, when Congress stalls and liberty pleads, but never as a daily substitute for the people's will. Justice must be enacted, not decreed.
Another angle: legitimacy breeds obedience; not from compulsion but from trust. If the people move with you, orders thin to a whisper, use them only when time or fate demands.
Darwinian angle: Institutions evolve, not decree. Just as species adapt gradually, liberty grows through tested reforms and feedback, not sudden top-down orders.
