Answer:

Of course it depends on the amount of power and what type of power. Ruling a country can make any person crazy. I know that if I ruled a country I would love it, but I think power is a generalization because the money, ability to get what you want, or even do illegal things is the true corruption. Power is just what we call all that wrapped up.

Step-by-step explanation:

But the ability to tell others what to do, to enforce your will upon another can corrupt anyone. That's why the type and amount of power matter because each individual person has power over their own life and together that power is multiplied when one individual obtain more power like over themselves but also many other people that's when the corruption sets in.
