What Are The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Political Dynasty

Unlike the national government, state governments encourage and support religious activities’ that inculcates virtue in the citizens (Bryner, Public Virtue and the Roots of American Government, 1987). Hence, in a small republic (state), there is a higher probability of finding true natural aristocrats with wisdom, talents and virtue to be representatives of the state. Being virtuous and wise, the representatives practice self-restraint to act in their own self-interest. For instance, corruption causes the funds to be diverted away from establishing a better society through the upgrading of facilities, provision of education and healthcare services. Furthermore, representatives in a small republic are a clear reflection of the citizens’ interests (Lim, 2014). Elections are held every few years to select the best representatives for the state. During the period of campaigning, the candidates have direct contact with the citizens through to organization of rallies and walkabouts where they interact with the electorate and understand their concerns. Hence, the electorate has an idea of whether the potential representatives are truly virtuous. Since these representatives are highly talented, they will also have the knowledge to implement appropriate laws and policies to manage the concerns of the

Who would think Oligarchy has so many advantages and benefits? As an oligarch, I would like to introduce the pros of Oligarchy to the citizens. The structure of Oligarchy makes the decision- making process fast and easy. Parliament and the constitution are absent in oligarchy. The decisions in oligarchy are made rapidly. The agreements get accepted quickly because it’s made by a handful number of people. Oligarchs are knowledgeable and intelligent individual and everyone is capable of making a wise decision. In Oligarchy, women get the opportunity to advance to the higher position in power. People don’t have to be wealthy to advance to a better position; they only have to have knowledge and creativity. A competent person, who serves

Democratic societies view fathers as equals to their sons. The father limits the freedoms of his son for a short time period, then willingly releases his authority once the child reaches adulthood. The son readily accepts his newfound freedom. Though all democratic men follow their own paths, only some aristocratic men are leaders, while others readily follow. In an aristocracy, sons lack an identity that is separate from their fathers. But, the democratic government merely perceives the father as an older and wiser citizen, in comparison to his sons (559). In this form of government, “mores” unite all men and the “general notion of a superior becomes weaker and less clear” (560). The head of the aristocratic family has a much more extensive and respected power than a democratic father. Tradition and ancestry play a larger role in determining the actions and beliefs of an aristocratic society. Aristocratic sons show immense respect for their ancestors and seek to continue the path that history has laid for them. The father’s link to the family’s ancestry allows him to serve as the family’s “organ of tradition”, which causes the son to both respect and rely on his father’s guidance (560). In contrast, democratic sons allow the past to inspire, not completely guide their futures. Democratic sons are typically not reluctant to go against tradition. As a

There are several important reasons why Anti-Dynasty Bill has to be pass by Congress to limit the power and influence of political families. First, political dynasties corrupt the system of checks and balances. Second, the centrality of dynasties to politics decreases the costs of associated with committing corrupts acts. Even if they face criminal cases or corruption during their term, political actors can still continue to gain benefits of power by having spouses, children or relatives take their seats as officials. Lastly, the continued success of political families despite the corruption charges undermines the law and perpetuates

Government throughout history and throughout different cultures has changed from one system to another. People fight for power, and a steady government means usually means more prosperous times. When bad times come, power levels may increase, overthrows are enacted, and sometimes the system itself changes. Societies often go about this differently, and patters may be hard to find. However, one thing that history seems to show is that rich people dominant the government. Social classes have always been a part of society, and those who already have more money, education, and resources tend to be the one’s ruling over those who have less. Most people who rule are given extra resources and valuable because they rule. But the pattern that is seen throughout history shows people who already had much, getting power, instead of an average person getting to power, then becoming rich.

Based on this graph, it is shown that the percentage of House representatives being reelected into office is higher than the Senate. Over the years, the amount of House representatives reelected increases, while the amount of Senates experience a vast decrease gap. Candidates use the incumbency advantage in districts, they believe they can be reelected for being involved with the district. The incumbency advantage allows candidates to be re elected due to name recognition, and relationships with citizens and personages. Having name recognition is an advantage to a candidate because they gain supporters from people who have heard about what that candidate has done for the community. Having relationships with citizens and personages is an advantage

From as far back as my ancestors can be traced, somehow they have always been involved in the political realm (Birley 30). My dearest great-grandfather, M. Cocceius Nerva, was consul [36 B.C.]; his grandfather, a man with the same name, was a fine jurist who accompanied Tiberius to Capri in [26 A.D.] (Wend). I was a son of a Roman lawyer in an aristocratic family (Woolf 364). On my maternal side, my darling mother’s Aunt Rubellia Bassa, was the great-granddaughter of

In Los Angeles county, a few Filipino organizations have workshops to educate Filipinos about Prop 57, 58, and JJJ and their benefits. During the election, those organizations held workshops to educate Filipino Americans how to register to vote and the importance of being voters. They also educated them the main points of each Prop. Different topics of elections are taught at the workshop. In the first workshop, they teach the participants about the history of the number of Filipino Americans that participated and how they voted. Then, at the following workshops, they focus on those important Propositions including Prop

This research relies heavily on theoretical data especially in relation to elections taking place in the nineteenth century. Because of this one might question the validity and reliability of the conclusions. The sources I used to reach those conclusions are qualitative and they aim to understand why the elections have turned out the way they ultimately did. Some numerical data exists for the 2000 election and I will utilize those figures in relation to that election to explore corruption. While the information will be helpful in further understanding one election it will not be when comparing all elections.

The US Government textbook, an article, and my notes contain the essential information about campaigns and elections. At the same time, that information might be too confusing and hard to comprehend.Due to the fact that it is very crucial to know and be a part of “political society”, I will try to explain it. In order to clarify that topic, I am going to provide a summary. As a result, by using these three main sources, I will try to make the process of becoming a county’s representative, a la President, more coherent.

In examining the relationship between those who hold power and those who have status, when one holds power but doesn’t have the status to go with it, there is often negative behavior that follows. “Across

The power elite is able to exert power over society. The power elite’s control over politics demonstrates how inequality is functional. This validates the class-domination theory of power, which is distributed based on economic power. By controlling economic resources, the power elites political influence in government shapes law and those involved in government to the power elites benefit. In today’s American society these laws have impacted both the corporate community and the elite. Furthermore, the author’s portrayal of the elite displayed how the elite have control concerning choices in government policies, elections, and laws.

Looking back to the previous government systems in different periods in Philippine history, we can see that our present government system is somehow shaped and patterned from the previous systems that prevailed in our country. Pre – historically we have seen how they established their government and basically, we can say that it is far more primitive than the present system that we have. However, the basic principles like the consultation of the datus to the elders can somehow be seen in the present by the presence of political advisers where our president consults aside from the members of the senate and the congress. The barangay system

When talking about Philippine Administrative System, first thing that comes to mind is about the government and its political divisions in the country. It is about the nations’s political hierarchy such as the central government, provinces, municipalities and barangay. However, these divisions and subdivisions can be attributed to our past history. It is not a plant that simply blooms from nowhere. The Philippine Administrative System is dynamic, shaped and evolved through time. From Spanish colonial period to the present administration, the mode of bureacracy is adopted, patterned and improved depending on the needs and wants of the administration. Needs, in terms of the welfare of the society. Wants,

Political dynasty is a well known method of politicians in the Philippines wherein the members of the family is made also a member of the government in order for them to not lose power but to gain more power. This act is an unfair and unjust because the government is not a business that a family can run by themselves, but the government is for all and other people should be given chances wherein they can be the one that leads a community.
