To maintain control, you must have power. Most people would disagree with that statement, but I'm not one of those people. I believe that to change or control a society, you need to have some form of power to influence and maintain a kingdom/ country. For example, in the Medieval times the King had so much power that he could force England to do anything he wanted them too. He knew that the peasants and serfs couldn't do anything to him because they had no power. So he kept raising taxes. But in modern day, it's not all bad. Most well functioning countries have a main source of power. Whether it's a president, a Prime-Minister, or a King. But countries with a government that has a bad handle of their people, it affects their power. Take Syria for example, the people want to chose their ruler. But the government won't let them. Denying the rights to chose the leader has sparked violent protests, hense losing the power of the government.
