Jun 18 at 13:34 comment added Nosajimiki At first this seems overly simple, but in fact, this is not much different than what happened with the American Revolution. No colonist was allowed to hold political offices or upper levels of military rank; so, all the politically ambitious people staged a revolution. "Taxation without representation" was not just an issue because of lack of representation, it underpinned a deep desire by ambitious men who wanted to be that representation.
Jun 18 at 7:50 comment added nick012000 @Shimbo "Are you suggesting that 'politicians' would attempt to gain positions in the Police in order to overthrow the government?" Basically, yeah.
Jun 17 at 16:52 comment added Shimbo I'm not sure how this answers the question? It seems like you're just saying "people with guns overthrow the government" (which is potentially true of any constitutional order). Are you suggesting that 'politicians' would attempt to gain positions in the Police in order to overthrow the government?
Jun 17 at 0:10 comment added TheDemonLord I am not going to down-vote this answer, but it is incredibly simplistic and could be a great answer if it was explored a little more.
