Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Rule-of-man is absence of rule of law. It is a society in which one person, or a group of persons rule arbitrarily. The Sovereign exercise absolute authority and is not bound by any law, he as a person stands above the law. The philosopher Hobbes advocate such a society saying that a society would be better if it had one absolute monarch as he would be free to chouse and do what he thinks is best for the society without taking into account the opinions of others. However real historical evidence points in a quite different direction. dictators like Stalin, Hitler and Mao all exercised rule-of-man in there reign and the result was gruesome violations to human rights, and coursed countless atrocities. History shows that without some checks and balance to the ruler''s power he is bound to misuse them, for as the saying goes: Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
