Societal figures of power exist with a necessary purpose - there is nothing benevolent about them.
The system of checks and balances on the power of the state can be seen in two lights: 1) as a way to prevent tyrannies from arising or 2) as a way to let the good actors freely act within well defined boundaries.
I simply believe the second point of view to be much more fruitful and stable.
