No rule of proper succession. Every prince considered himself to be the new ruler.
The Mughals became puppets in the hands of powerful nobles and could not assert their opinions and free will. According to you, is free will important? If yes, then why?
Free will is indeed important on an individual level and within the broader context of society or governance.
When individuals have the freedom to choose, they can be held accountable for their actions, leading to a more just and fair society.
Free will allows individuals to make choices that reflect their own desires, values, and beliefs.
Free will encourages creativity and innovation. When people are free to think independently and act on their ideas, it leads to new solutions, discoveries, and advancements in various fields.
In a political context, free will is fundamental to democracy. It allows citizens to express their opinions, participate in decision-making processes, and choose their leaders.
A lack of free will can lead to oppression and tyranny. When power is concentrated in the hands of a few, without checks and balances, it often results in the subjugation of others' rights and freedoms.
