If the dictator wants it it happens for the good or the bad. Now I feel this leads to a grate amount of stability in that if the dictator wants it it goes this way the people don't have to worry about the more shadier side of the politics. A dictatorship leads to low crime rate this is because historically the laws passed be the dictator are quite harsh such as work camps for life or just death I think this leads to a lower crime rate because the people are to scared of the harsh punishment to do anything that is agenst the dictator or the laws the pass. The last pro of a dictatorship is efficiency in dictatorship a lot gets done for the good or bad because one person controls the whole government there is nothing that stops them from passing whatever they want this leads to efficiency because no one can stop or argue with them to pass laws. One of the cons for a dictatorship is one person has all the power if the one person in power has malaise intent or does not know how to run a country they can make bad decisions or pass laws that can limit the freedom of the people they rule.

The United States style of government over the 200 years it has been around in has been quite profitable economically the way the United States has conducted trade has been able to consistently been able to bring in money to help stimulate the people and the government. The United States government when it was founded I personally believe it was the best system in the world at the time with the promes of freedom of religion and to not be presucted for ones own believes it is no wonder it was able to get and keep good momentum the United States has the promes of freedom of believes. The United States government system in its early years left a good frame work for improvement by using the system of checks and balances so that no one person could have all the power and made it so it would be very hard for the government to take away rights from the people who lived in the United States at the time. For the last thing that I think has made the United States government last for so long is the separation of power between the 3 branches of government the executive the legislative and the judicial. The first branch of government is the executive branch the head of this branch
