Alma 51:4, 7

Alma 51:4

Therefore, those who were desirous that the law should be altered

were angry with him,

and desired that he should no longer be chief judge over the land;

therefore there arose a warm dispute concerning the matter,

but not unto bloodshed.

Alma 51:7

And it came to pass that this matter of their contention

was settled by the voice of the people.

And it came to pass that the voice of the people came in favor of the freemen,

and Pahoran retained the judgment-seat,

which caused much rejoicing among the brethren of Pahoran

and also many of the people of liberty,

who also put the king-men to silence,

that they durst not oppose

but were obliged to maintain the cause of freedom.
