Introduction One enduring issue throughout history is that people and governments have tried to gain, consolidate, and maintain power. This desire to get and keep power is a significant enduring issue because individuals and states since the beginning of human history to today have sought power and people all over the world have been impacted by the short and long term effects of the methods used to gain, consolidate, and maintain power. Evidence of the people's thirst for power and the strategies they have used to keep it can be seen in the Islamic Caliphates, the British Empire, and the Russian Revolution.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

There is no question here. It is just a statement. If the question is a true or false question, then the answer will be true.

It is true that since the beginning of human history, humans have been hunger for power. There is a human tendency to tp gain power and control, and the more they have, the more they want. That is at the basis of every major empire, kingdom, and absolutist government. Democratic principles have changed the way politics are run. However, that ambition for power is still one of the characteristics of people who desire to run for political offices.
