In current world, many politic systems exist and many countries adopt democratic politic system. But, in the middle ages of Europe, absolute monarchism was adopted because of divine right of kings. This right means legitimacy and absoluteness of kings so that kings made law freely and led in a luxurious life by exploiting a lot of money from their people. In addition, people in such countries was poor because they were forced to work in land their king owned, and had to pay heavy tax. That is, they did not have chance or opportunity of leading freely life or stable life even if they had an ability like good at making something, doing business, and so on. To get big gain, Kings that age prohibited them from taking some actions, for example, kings gave privilege to a merchant which kings made favor. The reason was that king could control and monitor behavior of them easily because of only small part. Take a worse example.
In England, people rejecting unreasonable working were made to be slaves and if they made plans for escaping from their master, they were executed. Such terrible law was made by kings. To change such social environment, and to get opportunity and human right, law-status people determined and took the action. It was revolution. As a result, they achieved what they wanted by the way of knocking down their king. In short, absolute monarchism was rejected all over the world. From then, public opinion became to be essential for politic and this meant that democratic politic started. Early purpose of democratic politics was establishment of human right and free of business and this policy has been achieved.
But, today we have concerned a lot of complicated and demanding long time problems like diplomacy, security of our nation, and economic problem. Because such discussion will not proceed with speedy, these problems have been remained for a long time and will be left to future. Why do this happen? The reason is that top of a country adopting democratic politics tend to change immediately. In addition, its term of office is short. Take an example of Japan. In Japan the maximum term of office of prime minister is four years. But between short time, five prime ministers have changed from Mr. Aso to Mr. Abe. Moreover, their policies were different. As a result, today we have faced to many troubles which are still unresolved for many years. In addition, making a charge for trivial and private problems may lead to exclude really able politician because we tend to like people apparently not having negative points. Take another example. When top of the nation change, next top person may introduce policy different from predecessor. As you know, a number of conference of TPP has done between many county, many times, many years. But when next top of the U.S was determined, he said that the U.S do not participate in this. This have led to confusion between many country.
Also, there are too many members of the Diet. Being a larger number has led to the lack of responsibility of each person. you may watch by TV : during discussion, some of them sleep or use twitter or facebook. In short, under democratic politic system, instability of top and policies, and unclearness of responsibility exist in many points.
Next, I would like to tell positive points of these two politic system. At first, under absolute monarchy, person who have responsibility for policies is clear. Also, If top of the nation do not abuse their power, prosperity of the nation will continue long time. That is to say, stability of political aspect will be achieved. Secondly, under democratic politics, because all people have right of vote, many opinion will be reflected on. In addition, existence of dominance of law is very good to prevent the abuse of power and solve many trouble.
From the above, politic system can be much better if positive points of absolute monarchy and democratic politics are mixed. I think that following politic system is better : top of the nation is law and the constitution, and leader is king ( anyone is good if a person who can take responsibility and know politics well is clear ), and supporter of top should be selected by equally and ordinary election.
