One instance that comes to mind is the country of Zimbabwe, where Robert Mugabe has created a cult of personality composed of individuals that must adore him, regardless of their personal choices.

The dozen years prior to the Constitutional Convention was a period in which the "rich and wellborn" exerted considerable influence. These people consisted of merchants, bankers, and big landowners, and they had the power to make themselves heard and thus to press for their particular view of what shape the new nation should take. The U.S. was not the egalitarian society it has been painted to be but was instead
