Moreover, Hitler had a violent rage whenever someone even questioned his decisions. He did not bother to consult other individuals prior to making a decision and this finally led Continue reading...

In absolute monarchies, rulers exercise control in all aspects of society, and often believe in a divine right to rule (Bjørnskov and Kurrild-Klitgaard 19). An example of an absolute monarchy Continue reading...
