To be blunt to many of the people that seek power are doing it out of pure self interest knowing the further they rise up the hierarchy the more power and status they get, and the fastest way up is via "Dead men's shoes".

So now consider your idea again but thinking about "Power struggles" and what those with power and status do with it and why?

Unfortunately the way we currently try to do this is a compleate mess as it was built by politicians who almost always have their eye on some other prize Or to be more blunt, they want more power and you to have less power, they then wrap this in some lie to get a legal binding of such a change in power status.

For a while when power came through the holding of land the churches more than equalled most monarchies so shared power.

It's got to the point now where corporates have more wealth and power than many small countries and are steadily gaining more power in what some see as "A godless soulless way".
