Question

what are the fears associated with an administrative post becoming hereditary

Answer 1

the fears would be that the person coming into power has not been chosen by the general populous and so would not have their majority support and the person coming into power may not be considering the greater good of the community but rather the greater good of his/her own pocket/purse

Answer 2

The fears associated with an administrative post becoming hereditary are as follows:

• Once the post becomes hereditary, the person holding the post would gradually become independent of the ruler or the king.

• When the ruler appoints some person for the post, he thoroughly inquires about his qualities and potentials. Only the eligible could come to the seat. However, in the absence of this criteria, the hereditary seat often gets transferred to the weak or the non-eligible candidate.
