Societal Disintegration
Part of:
Gadianton Period
The corrupt judges conspire and plot to kill the governors and establish a king over the people.
They are not successful in establishing a king, but they do kill the chief judge.
The Nephite society disassembles, and the people group into factions.
The government and legal system also disintegrates, and the Nephites are left in autonomous tribes—the social disassembly takes place in less than six years.
