100 POINTS PLEASE ANSWER!!!

Explain why this idea would be helpful for a large empire. What is one possible negative to this strategy?

Answer:

This strategy would be helpful for a large empire, because the King would have hard time governing everywhere at once. A possibly negitive to this strategy would be that if he lets the smaller governing officials have too much control, they might want more and more power and they might want to over rule the King.
