In "Animal Farm," the weekly meetings initially served as a platform for all animals to voice their opinions and make collective decisions. However, as the pigs, particularly Napoleon, consolidated power, these meetings were gradually replaced by more authoritarian practices. Eventually, the animals were no longer allowed to voice their concerns, and meetings became mere formalities where the pigs dictated decisions. This shift reflects the erosion of democratic principles on the farm and the rise of totalitarian rule.

Over time, these meetings became more controlled and less democratic, reflecting the pigs' increasing power.
