“Thou shalt not lie” (Kant, 2009, p.389). Enumerated in the Ten Commandments, this concept has been commonly upheld for centuries. Immanuel Kant provided this as his primary example of moral law in Groundwork of Metaphysics of Morals.

Thus, another reason why many leaders abuse their power is because they think that they have to be cruel in order to stand and prevail in brutal battles for power. This is particularly true when we reference to the long history of corruption in European Monarchs. Mary I of England was cruel, deceptive, forceful, and carried out many things by coercion. Similarly, Ivan the Terrible of Russia did not care, and did not…
