I don’t know exactly what that means. I think of the example of when the US constitution was drafted, the founders were weary of too much power being concentrated and they intentionally put in checks and balances.

Sure. sure. I try not to use the word "founders" any more. "Framers" is a better description of their frailty...

I thought I wrote it very well. Maybe I can restate. The few who DO know how to walk away from power, still create, participate, and further the very system that they must make a difficult decision to "walk away from" as you put it. These types of systems are what attract the types that DO NOT want to walk away. This is THE problem.
