John Locke
In his own words about political power and the common people, Thomas Jefferson said, "I know no safe depositary of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education."
Max Weber said that power is held by bureaucrats and administrators. He was a German sociologist, political economist and philosopher.
Box you said Hi!
This phrase is often attributed to Niccolò Machiavelli, a Renaissance diplomat and political theorist known for his work "The Prince." The quote highlights the idea that the king's authority is derived from a higher power, reflecting divine right theory.

Thomas Jefferson once said " that with two people you have a law firm and with three a political party." When there is any issue there are always people who are on both sides of it. Since that is the case people form themselves into groups thus creating political parties. Washington before he left office warned against political parties taking over the political process. He said that if that happened the common good of the people would be replaced by the needs of the political party. In looking at the election today I think he has been proven right.
This has been said in attempts by political pundits and detractors to smear him and by incredibly misinformed people.
A rebublic is the type of government that we have in the United States, so i guess the president or the people, but the leader is the president and the ones who decide whose in office is us the people.
