- With Aguinaldo as a dictator, it would be easier to make decisions in the event that a war with the Americans will happen
- argued that although Aguinaldo does not have much experience with international governance, the cabinet of illustrados are there to coach him
- his dictatorship will be temporary

FELIPE CALDERON
- wanted a strong legislative branch
- argued that having a strong executive is against liberalism
- by establishing a dictatorship, you are increasing the chance of the military taking over power.

Contradiction: How will the government fund itself?

TAKE A LOAN

    - Loan was approved by Aguinaldo but then it was never enacted since the first republic fell due to the Americans

TAXATION
- To gain funds for government activities
- Attempt to increase the military power
People who are not able to pay taxes must join the military to not pay taxes
