Maintaining Power is much more difficult because obtaining power is easily manipulated by using phrases as "for the greater good." Laws are easily created and most of the time, they are just out of the whim. The tricky part is maintaining power without objection. Side: Maintain Power

the government is part of us as much as we are part of it. That is one of the major reasons we, in the US, have a republican form of government, because it insulates leaders from the popular and often brief emotional whims of the public, which is why senators were not elected as in the "people's house". Obtaining more power is simply a referendum from the people in most cases. Maintaining power and ensuring order, that is what a government desires. Side: Maintain Power
