Answer:

- It might make sense or not, placing power on the hands of one individual, depending on the situation and the type of power.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Power at individual level makes sense when the consequences coming out of actions derived from the power affect only the individual.
  • But in the case that the actions from the exercise of that power affect a number of individuals, then, it shall not make sense to place power on a single individual.
  • Give an example of state power, its actions affect the life of the whole population within a state, it is therefore a collective responsibility to regulate power in a state and its actions.
  • In such a case, it leads to authoritarian rule which is negative.
