Kaleb Morgan Mr. Abbott Idv. & Soci. G6 12/10/15 Who Hold the Power? What are the best kind of systems in a country? The government is important, so is the economic system, but the judiciary system is always needed. The most successful government economic and judicial system that one could find across the world are Dictatorships, Socialism, and the Supreme Court Judicial System. First, Dictatorships, although disliked by many, can be extremely effective in decision making and growth and resilience of the country. For example, ‘Dictatorships allow for straightforward and efficient decision making as after the 1936 Spanish elections, under Francisco Franco, all rightist factions were unified.

The two countries, China and India, both rapidly grew economically but while China was able to maintain its infrastructure and is able to deliver essentials, India has only deteriorated, showing the strength and resilience of a dictatorship compared to a democracy. On the other hand, “Other countries, such as Peru and Chile attempted to tackle income redistribution through macroeconomic means, in the case of Allende in Chile and the first term of Garcia in Peru, Which achieved the opposite of what they set out to accomplish, resulting in massive political instability, High inflation, violence and even a coup.” (Dictatorship Is the Best Path).

A few examples of failures of a judicial religious system known as the Sharia are, “The problem is that it is all too easy for an individual judge to make some pronouncement or invoke some penalty without the full knowledge of the background of Sharia and the spirit behind the various laws and penalties. (How Does the US Court System). This shows how some religious-based laws, such as the Sharia, have judges that don’t fully know the laws and their spiritual meaning behind them, leading to improper punishments. Another example is, ‘In Sharia law any marriage that
