This is why I would argue that it is better to ensure that there are always competeing/opposing interests. No one group (not even the government) should be allowed to maintain a monopoly on power.
One of the reasons I think that the US government is so stable is that all the branches been arranged in opposition to each other. The courts can (and will) tell congress to fuck off, congress will tell the president to do the same, and in the end no one gets shot for sedition.
