And based on political theory and the stories from these movies, what advice would you give someone who is thinking of entering political life?
Choice 2
Why should despots not govern? Use the concepts such as “the state”, “the sovereign”, “head of state”, liberal democracy and/or the “social contract” in your analysis. Illustrate with examples from one movie we’ve watched.
