Have you all ever wondered what can power do to people? What does a man of irrefutable power like the Presidents of America and Russia feel like it? How will you feel if a corrupt and evil person has that power and is willing to unleash it? Or is it that once a good man comes to such a pinnacle of power, it corrupts him. I am not implying that these two are corrupt or evil. All I am trying to ask is how does power affect people and you?

More power will give you more responsibility. In a country, the highest power is on the leader's hand. Whether it's a president, a king, or a queen. As a leader, they should using their powerful position to server their citizens, and to developing their country. But if there's a misusing of the power, usually that country will be unrest. Citizens are not fool. When they found if their leader misusing the power, usually citizens will asking for reformation. But the fact, it is not as easy as talking about reformation. Usually in a government, there's a opposition and coalition. So pro and contra will occur. In a parliament country, usually it's more flexible to change the leader. By held another election, a new leader can be elected with fair. But in monarchic country, usually it happened through coup d'etat and it's not easy, because that means possible could be a civil war. No matter what and no matter how, in the end victims are citizens. So misuse of power will lead to ruination. The problem is how to find a competence canditate who will not misuse the power. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.
