Future studies, futures research or futurology, is the systematic, interdisciplinary and holistic study of social and technological advancement, and other environmental trends, often for the purpose of exploring how people will live and work in the future. "Futurology" is defined as the "study of the future." The term was coined by German professor Ossip K. Flechtheim in the mid-1940s, who proposed it as a new branch of knowledge that would include a new science of probability.
The correct answer here would be that "conscription was despotism."
Despotism
refers to the absolute rule of the a single entity who rules as it
choose. That was usually a monarch but it can be any kind of government
that obstructs the rights of its citizens. It is used to describe the
abuse of power and the oppressing of people. Here conscription is
despotism as the government is oppressing the people and their rights
given to them by the 13th Amendment and it is abusing its power.
Anything which is not stable (unlikely to move) is unstable.
