Alma 51

 We read that as the Nephites were enjoying their liberty that -

"...there were a part of the people who desired that a few particular points of the law should be altered."  (Alma 51:2)

They - 

"...were called king-men, for they were desirous that the law should be altered in a manner to overthrow the free government and to establish a king over the land."  (Alma 51:5)

For they - 

"...who were in favor of kings were those of high birth, and they sought to be kings; and they were supported by those who sought power and authority over the people."  (Alma 51:8)

Sound relevant to our day.
