>>39792699>2/2Think of it this way, what if during the decade or two prior to the US civil war a dictator form the recognized royal family had been chosen to solve the slavery issue instead of another compromise that neither side is happy with? Whatever that dictator decides (who would be recognized by everyone as an unbiased judicial scholar that personified the constitution) the rest of the country would have no choice but agree too. Whatever decision he came up with, everyone would have to recognize it as the path to be followed, thus the civil war is averted.
As well his legitimacy doesn’t come from god or his military might but from the constitution. As well it prevents potential sociopaths (cough Gaius cough) from rising up and gaining enough power to force himself as dictator as its limited to the royal family. A highly competent sociopath that cares nothing for the constitution he was raised to uphold might occur however I see it as having a very small likelihood to occur.
What do you guys think
