What is the most effective way for a ruler to maintain order?

To manage people, one must be consistent with their laws and punishments. A leader needs to enforce the laws and if they are broken punish them. When a leader does not punish people for breaking the laws, people usually end up breaking the law again. People break the law again because they think they will not get punished. A leader who enforces the law and carries out punishment is a good leader.

Response to Jared Diamonds Thesis

Jared Diamands thesis is a result of Yali's question, "Why do you white men have so much cargo and us New Guinians have very little?" Diamonds thesis explains the answer, its geographical luck. I agree with his thesis because places in the world had advantages over others which came from the earth it self. There are places which had crops and there were places which didnt, there were places that had animals which could eaisly be demesticated and there were some who didnt, this was all based on geographical luck. Geographical luck is the chance happening of fortunate land.
