Understandings

A good leader considers the will of the people.

In the medieval unit we studied about many kings, and most of them did not 'understand' or make rules that benefited the people. Kings like king Richard was one of the kings that never would have interest in his people. This led to the Peasants creating a rebellion, but still if a king were to follow the will of his people, bad things could happen. For example, if the kings people wanted to build a new building, but the king had no money. The king would need to introduce a tax, but the peasants have no money. Therefore a rebellion could start, and during 1381 a rebellion did start because of a tax and a statute. Still things like higher wages, or freedom, could easily be changed. Adolf Hitler did not follow what his people/ nazi's wanted. Instead he used them to do what he wanted. Therefore I believe that he was not a good leader.
