A ruler becomes more powerful when they can control people and resources. Imagine a king who has many soldiers, lots of food, and everyone loves him, he is strong because he doesn’t need to fight for what he wants. But if he has few people working for him and no money, it’s easier for others to take over his kingdom.
Examples
- A king with many soldiers can easily defeat a rival who only has a few men.
- A queen who is loved by her people is more likely to stay on the throne than one who is hated.
- If a ruler has enough food, their people are less likely to rebel.
