In political contestation, there is usually a derivative of political science. From father to son. Or from grandfather to grandchild. And so on. Political dynasties are not always negative.
In fact, political dynasties are a way of keeping political thought pure. In another sense, the view of political regeneration based on genealogical ties has existed since ancient times.
We can look at examples of political dynasties from various points of view. For example, in customary leadership, tribal leaders usually submit their leadership to their children or nephews.
It's legal. As long as leaders and prospective leaders have a strict educational stage. All stages of leadership are legal.
Every politician has his own knowledge, methods and actions. No one carries the good and the pursuit of politicians other than himself.

For example, in colossal times, the king's descendants were well prepared. The princes studied warfare, social, economics, political policy, dialogue, debate, discussion, to technical matters to become leaders.
The education and training of prospective rulers is carried out with the intention of protecting prospective leaders from things that can damage and tear down the foundation of the country.
In the early days of the royal system, the education of princes was like the education of all departments and faculties. Besides understanding some science.
The princes of the past understood a little from many sciences to strengthen skills and sharpen understanding. Though in practice, the rulers had advisors to guard every policy.
However, the leader's personal good and bad are private property. There is no proposition that the offspring will bear the rewards and sins of their ancestors.
Unless that is the view of a few people regarding one's weight, bebet, seeds. There is no guarantee that good gives birth to good, and vice versa.
What is your view of dynastic politics? I look forward to welcoming your comments from the experience and history of politics in your country
