History is full of abusive leaders, but the people they ruled were often accountable, to a certain extent, for allowing them to stay in power. This was especially true in post-Revolution France, where the citizens were willing to trade away certain freedoms for safety under the leadership of Napoleon Bonaparte.

In William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar Mark Antony’s speech is more persuasive than the one Brutus gives because he uses better tactics and more powerful rhetoric. In his speech Brutus uses gravitas and ethos which in the end backfires because it makes his speech less relatable and portrays him as better than the plebeians.
