Because Octavian had been ruling as consul for so long, the senate just assumed he called them together to announce he was going to hold consulship for life. But what they got instead was shock. Octavian announced he would give up power and return Rome to its former glory as a Republic. Octavian would give the Senate their power back that they had lost over the years.

Harding handled similarly to how Roosevelt, and set the strikers back to work. The Railway Industry Board reduced worker wages by 12%, which would, of course, cause unrest amongst the workers. Strikes would occur, but Harding found that he was unable to dissipate the unrest as he did with the coal strike. In 1918, the court case of Hammer v. Dagenhart illegalized the use of child labor. Harding took it upon himself to make sure that these laws were being followed.
Washington took various other steps to strengthen governmental authority, including suppression of the Whisky Rebellion (1794). To unify the country, he toured the Northeast in 1789 and the South in 1791. He fostered United States interests on the North American continent by treaties with Britain and Spain.

In one of his most well known works “Letters concerning the English nation”, Voltaire contrasts the overbearing French government with the English government. He believed that the French government had more social barriers that kept the lower classes from ever moving up or getting rich through hard work. Instead, people were stuck in the class that they were born into. Voltaire could see that the government inherently favored the aristocracy and wrote "In general, the art of government consists in taking as much money as possible from one class of citizens to give to the other. "(Dictionnaire Philosophique) The French government did their best to keep Voltaire's writings out of the hands of the common people, however his views and philosophies became widely known in France.
