HapaPerspective Chat Yes, but power is more concentrated in a monarchy such that if it gets really, really bad, you have a distinct and specific group that needs their heads on pikes. In our system, everybody has a minimal slice of power so that responsibility and culpability is diffused throughout Leviathan.
Ah yes, the "you'll know who to blame" argument in defense of monarchy. I don't find it very compelling because, historically, kings still had courtiers, ministers, nobles, judges, and other figures (secret kings) to whom they delegated power and decision making to. Moreover, even without a king, we actually do know whom to blame within our republic.
