- marcosdumay 9y agoA dictator can be benevolent, but he's out of the Law's reach, or he wouldn't be a dictator. If everybody must follow the same laws, and nobody can change the laws at will, you will get a democracy. If some people can steer lawmaking at will or law does not apply to them, it doesn't matter if you vote on public representatives, they won't be submitted to your wills.
