    Yeah, the issue is that even if the system is perfect on paper, people will still be people. Even if the system has checks in place to prevent dictatorships, those checks will inevitably rely on people actually enforcing the rules. And what happens if those people are in favor of the dictator and actively want him to be in power, and thus refuse to stop the dictator from rising to power?
