GG @CallMeTruckson, you just advanced to level 4!
A king however needs to represent the interest of everybody in terms of the general will.
Even the ancient greek thinkers considered monarchy to be the best form of government
A king?
Even early-moderns like Hobbes
argued the monarch to be a best form of government
even post-modern thinkers like Nietzche argues the King is the best type of government to secure the best of human potential
Not too sure about that
What if the king is an asshole
Who's to stop em?
Why would the King be an asshole?
Hypothetical
Does not exist
The king does his best to serve the nation at the public's interest
how do you think China managed to survive such a long-term monarchy
a bad king makes a bad monarchy
"the mandate of heaven" is essentially the same as a social contract
The King or Queen
might I add
tech, i know all the tv shows have a nice monarchy but they tended to be harsh
Did you think the Americans were really revolting against taxes on King George?
King George literally didn't raise any taxes during the French and Indian War
and fighting for independence
He wanted every Americans to be able to survive despite a war on their backyard
But these American colonists said NO FK U
I WANT TAX-FREE TEA
REEEE
Not to mention the british monarch respected the sovereign of the Indians that lived in the North American continent
yet the American colonists said NO I WANT MORE LAND
I will travel beyond the west and claim what is mine
king george had a rule where if you served in the military and you got injured but didnt die you ha to pay money to the crown
based
thats monarchy
makes sense
military training cost a shit ton
the amount it takes to feed you
is ridiculous
and you got "injured"
makes absolute sense to keep the military spending at a minimum
even if you got a job back after the war you still had to pay money
