Poetry and plays often captured through literary devices what couldn’t be said out loud. And that gives us a record showing the concerns of (mostly) upper class citizens. Oh! And also, you can look at how Roman Senators related to the Emperor during the transition to and shortly after Augustus!

Sorry I can’t give you specific texts to look at. Been awhile so I don’t remember names. But I think your q is more about the events and how people responded. A great way to learn is through literature of that time. For example, 1st century poets seemed to lament the transition to empire…

Along those lines, and perhaps most relevant to today was the difficulty of managing such a large empire. You could look at how various Emperors handled the issue, often splitting the Empire amongst multiple heirs (cf - the tetrarchy). And ultimately, splitting the empire into East and West.

which is why I got a degree in Classics. Similar to what is happening now, it started as a slow motion transition that came to a head over 2+ centuries. Here, you’d be looking at pre-post Constantine, specifically. And, the power split that occurred when the Catholic Church formed.

There are plenty to choose from in antiquity. Some that come to mind are:
The Athenian plague that occurred during the Peloponnesian War, as well as the aftermath of that war. The plague altered Athens, and the war changed the course of Greek history.
The transition of Rome to Christianity…

Makes sense. Probably gonna be a common suggestion, but Stoic philosophy is helpful as it is about controlling yourself, not the external world.
You can probably get some inspiration from looking at points of significant change.

Wasn’t asking you to do that. It is a totally unrelated question.

No, I have neither. I’m a lawyer reading the plain text of the laws and drawing a reasonable inference. If there are more rules beyond what you’ve shared, I’d love to take a look at them.

It says NSA is prohibited from asking. It doesn’t say prohibited from receiving. And since it only mentions NSA, that doesn’t preclude any other intelligence orgs or even the president himself making such a request.

Probably worth pointing out that UKUSA would most likely allow the US government to access data about its own citizens that it would not otherwise be able to obtain without a court order. This would circumvent all Fourth Amendment protections and its global equivalents - without cause.

This is a great idea. Many people come to the museum just to see the Mona Lisa. This makes it easier for people who are there for other pieces to navigate the museum. And there’s nothing stopping people from going further into the museum.
