Why Do Political Systems Collapse?

Imagine a big castle that's been standing for years, holding everything together. But one day, the stones start to crack, maybe because too many people are fighting inside or outside. The castle can't hold up anymore and falls down. A political system collapse is like that castle, it happens when something important breaks in the government, and everything starts falling apart.
