Do you know of an example from history that would support this statement?
"Giving the power to determine what is morally right and wrong solely to one person is potentially dangerous."
The Holocaust is my prime example, but I'd love for any other historical references you can think of where the government in particular was responsible for obviously morally incorrect acts.
Thank you for all of your input.

"Who will guard the guards themselves?" - Juvenal,early 2nd century AD.
