	Absolute power - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Absolute power, also called absolute authority, is a term used in political science to describe a head of state and head of government that holds supreme executive, judicial and legislative powers.
		Other popular monarchs ruled with absolute power but eventually such power was diminished and dissolved with the introduction of constitutions giving the people the power to make decisions for themselves through elected bodies of government.
		One historical example of an assertion of absolute power is evident in the Declaratory Act of 1766 by the British Parliament, in which Britain asserted absolute power "in all cases whatsoever" over the unrepresented American colonies.

	Lalor, Cyclopaedia of Political Science, V.1, Entry 4, ABSOLUTE POWER: Library of Economics and Liberty
		Absolute power can not be attributed to man, because the limits of human nature render it impossible to attribute such power to him.
		It derives the absolute power of man from God, and, with due humility, recognizes the dependence of man on his Maker, while it encourages, in the mind of the ruler, the insolent idea that he only exercises the power possessed by God before He delegated it to him.
		Absolute power was used as a means to these ends, or suffered by the people to gain new strength for the work of progress and reform.

	Power Corrupts
		As is shown by Lord Acton’s famous words of wisdom that “power corrupts,” what characterizes the history of man is the corrupted leaders blinded by their power and might.
		Lord Acton did not, however, identify the meaning of power and corruption fully; his “truth” is only a half truth.
		Only people not able to grow tall from their own efforts and achievements seek to subdue their fellow man; only people not being able to find comfort in their own mind seek to silence others; those who are unable to produce their own wealth aim to confiscate the wealth of others.

		Absolute Power focuses more on these characters and their motivations and feelings rather than giving us ridiculous reasons for set-pieces and shoot-outs.
		Absolute Power tries to make its mark on three levels - the thriller level is the only one where it completely succeeds, and it manages to be constantly exciting, gripping and enticing.
		Still, it can give you a general idea of how absolute power corrupts, and of the kind of horrors that the intricate systems of democracy might hide; but it's not to be taken too literally.

	Power Corrupts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		When a person gains power over other persons — the political power to force other persons to do his bidding when they do not believe it right to do so — it seems inevitable that a moral weakness develops in the person who exercises that power.
		Therefore, the possessor of the political power could very well decide to leave every person free to do as he pleases so long as he does not infringe upon the same right of every other person to do as he pleases.
		If the benevolent ruler stays in power long enough, he eventually concludes that power and wisdom are the same thing.

	Review: Absolute Power (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Unlike Unforgiven and The Bridges of Madison County, there's nothing remarkable about this motion picture; Absolute Power is a straightforward thriller that, while entertaining, will not go down as an example of Eastwood's best work.
		Absolute Power, adapted by veteran screenwriter William Goldman from the novel by David Baldacci, is an intriguing story told in an effective manner.
		The final cut of Absolute Power isn't shocking or surprising, but seeing it is worth the commitment of a couple of hours on a cold February night.

	WorldNetDaily: Bill would give governors absolute power
		According to a summary of the "Model State Emergency Health Powers Act" by the legislative research arm of the Home School Legal Defense Association, a home-schooling rights organization, the proposed legislation could give governors the kind of absolute power during a health emergency once reserved only for kings, queens and dictators.
		Essentially, the measure grants "emergency powers to the state governors and public health authorities during a declared 'state of public health emergency,'" the analysis said.
		For example, he said, state lawmakers should assess whether absolute power should be exercised by a governor for every health emergency.

		'Absolute Power' is another testament to Clint Eastwood's ability as a talented filmmaker.
		'Absolute Power' is an extremely powerful motion picture filled with intrigue (both political and social) that manages to construct its plot line in a manner suitable for building to a daring climax but also in a way for serious discussion after you leave the theatre.

		In past centuries, when Rome's ecclesiastical power was virtually absolute throughout Europe, the intensity of the attacks by the papists upon their spiritual enemies could be equally absolute.
		Having divorced herself from Biblical absolutes, Catholicism adopted a theology in which she sees herself as the church founded upon the Apostle Peter by Jesus Christ, and alone empowered to bring salvation to the world.
		To whatever degree she achieves political power, to that degree she feels compelled to use her secular influence as a weapon against her spiritual adversaries.

		Depending on their power capacity, standby generators can power almost everything in your home—heat and lights, security system, well or sump pumps, refrigerator and freezer, water heater, air conditioner, medical support, television or computer for days or even weeks.
		When power has been restored, the switch shuts down the generator and shifts your home back to utility power.
		Most residential standby generators are powered by natural gas or liquid propane, fuels that can be piped directly to the unit if you are already using either of them as fuel for your home.
