The dynasty is the name given to the action of inheriting a social or political power from family to family, that is, the family group that was dedicated to the same social function from generation to generation is mentioned as a dynasty. Mostly the concept is applied in the rulers, when the mandate of a country or a nation is not by means of the election of the people but is inheritable, in most cases this command was granted from a father to his first male child, without However, there were situations where the mandate was granted from uncle to nephew, from grandfather to grandson and so on.
According to the historical moments lived, nowadays the name of dynasty is given not only to the inheritable political mandate but also to the business one, that is to say, all genealogical succession that occurs in any situation that implies a social position is called a dynasty, These individuals belonging to the same family group tend to be influenced or highlighted by their purchasing or monetary power, cultural power, or others.
In some nations, generally those that have suffered dictatorial processes, government dynasties have been established in which the presidency has passed in a filial way (from father to son), this type of government is called family dictatorships, several examples to mention would be the family Duvalier who inherited the presidential mandate of Haiti, or the Somozas in Nicaragua, another event like this was experienced by the Korean region specifically North Korea where a communist- type dynasty was perpetuated where the main slogan is socialism, the mandate was transferred from grandfather to father and subsequent to son.
However, not all dynasties have to be dictatorial and arbitrary, in a democratic way different political dynasties have been established, an example of these would be in the American continent, as the main example is the Kennedy dynasty in which it could only be President John Kennedy, however his descendants carried out important political positions, another example would be the Bush dynasty where father and son managed to reach the presidency by popular vote, while other members of the family became governors of state.
