“The more power a government has, the more it can act arbitrarily according to the whims and desires of the elite, and the more

it will make war on others and murder its foreign and domestic subjects. The more constrained the power of governments, the more power is diffused, checked, and balanced, the less it will aggress on others and commit mass violence. At the extremes of power, totalitarian governments slaughter their people by the tens of millions. In contrast, many democracies can barely bring themselves to execute even serial murderers.”

How are those "decision-makers" selected and by whom
