Precise this short passage and give it a suitable title. Please also check mine
Passage 1
When deplorable weakness and indecision manifest themselves in the counsels of power; when, yielding in turn to the influence of opposing parties, and living from day to day without fixed plans or a determined policy, it has shown the completeness of its incapacity, and when the most moderate citizens are forced to admit that the state is no longer governed; when, in fact, to its incompetency the administration suffers, what in the eyes of a proud people is the greatest humiliation possible, I mean to say the contempt of foreign nations, then a vague inquietude spreads throughout the community, concern for national preservation arises, and, turning its gaze on itself, it seems to search for a man able to save it.
