📊 Analysis Synthesis

The Executive Order 14314 demonstrates a trend towards consolidating executive power by prioritizing domestic access to national parks and revoking previous inclusive policies. While legally justified under presidential authority, the order raises concerns about marginalization of non-residents and potential democratic erosion through reduced diversity initiatives. Historical precedents show similar policy shifts, though this order's focus on preferential treatment for U.S. residents marks a notable departure.
