If we were to look at our history, we would see a lot of men who obtained power, but somehow found a way to abuse of that power that they had. For example, Hitler is the most notorious tyrant in history. In the beginning, the people that voted for him had no idea that he would turn into this maniac who killed millions of Jewish people just because of their race. He committed genocide because he had the power to do so. His people basically handed over the power to Hitler when they voted for him. All of this hatred and the abuse of Hitler's power resulted in World War 2.
Other men in history such as Stalin, from Russia, and Mao, form China, killed many of their own people also because they had the power to do as they pleased. They became tyrants because they were in charge and there was no one there who had the right to tell them what to do or what not to do.
When it comes to the point of power, we need to make sure that it does not fall in to the wrong hands or else, we will end up with an all new Hitler.
I think George Orwell, the author of Animal Farm, would answer the question by agreeing that political people does corrupt people. He writes about animals revolting against the humans to take over their farm. This story relates to history because I can predict a new leader will come out and become the dictator of all the animals.
All we need is one quote to predict what will happen next,
“All animals are equal,” (Orwell 43).When The United States said this in the U.S Constitution, they didn't really mean it. If all men were created equal, then why was there slavery for some time? It only makes sense to say that the book will most likely end with a revolt among the animals to overthrow their new leader. This cycle of abusing of power is endless.
