It was originally designed for a theocracy, run under Moses and the priests. In such a theocracy, there is no other religion. Remember, Israel was commanded to destroy all the other peoples and religions in Palestine. The Nephites adapted it to their multi-peopled government, meaning backing off on some requirements to ensure religious freedom.

It had just occurred to me that it seemed that the Mosaic law, if properly followed, never allowed for true freedom. Am I really right on that one? If that is the case, wouldn't one say that that law was a law of force?
