Moroni again indicates that unless he receives the needed men and provisions, that he will bring his armies against Pahoran. He has already provided the possible justification, which was his accusation that Pahoran might be a traitor. If that had been the case, then Moroni could be justified in removing him by force.
Moroni invokes the image he had used with his title of liberty, that of a desire for freedom. As discussed in connection to the title of liberty, the freedom and liberty Moroni is interested in is more heavily religious than political. Moroni doesn’t argue with the law, but rather uses the covenant of the land as the justification for desiring that the right things be done.
