The Queen tried to settle the conflict between the leaders so there would not be any rebellions. Upon the death of Queen Elizabeth, King James I rose to power. King James I surrounded himself with people that were untrustworthy. When King James I died, his son Charles I took the throne. Controversy between the crown was increased when King Charles I took the throne, and the want for power grew.



Adolf Hitler first came into power to help the people of Germany become a great nation. His plan was very effective at first, but then Hitler started to abuse his power which escalated over time. He started to kill the Jews and others, whom he though were the source of evil. Hitler abused his power against people and became corrupt, and then shortly after, power slipped out of Hitler hands, just like it did to Macbeth in the play by Shakespeare.


There are some leaders that use their power for the benefit of the people. Some examples of those good leaders are Martin Luther King,Jr., Gandhi, and John F. Kennedy.
Martin Luther King, Jr. wanted peace for African Americans. He used his power to promote non-violent protests to give the African American community, in the United States, their rights.
Gandhi, the father of the Indian independence movement, used his power to fight discrimination against Indians. He also thought of satyagraha, which is a non-violent way of protesting injustice.
And lastly, John F. Kennedy used his power to help Americans and others around the world. Kennedy set laws to end segregation against African Americans, and he also established the Peace Corps that sends American volunteers over to foreign counties that need assistance. All three of these leaders used their power to help not themselves, but others.
This assignment helped me understand the universal theme that power can be good for people, or it could turn people corrupt. The assignment made me study history and some very influential people. It helped me understand that power is not always a good thing, and if it got in the hands of some people, it could be very harmful. But, power in the hands of good people can do good for the world. I feel that this assignment also helped me learn more about blogger and how to use it properly. Before this assignment, I did not know how to embed links, but now I do. This assignment helped me not only study history and people, but it also helped me learn how to use technology.
