Emperor Diocletian ended the form of government of total monarchy and divided the reign into separated units, each ruled by its own. The Roman Empire could not maintain effective control in its western regions. The inefficacy of its rulers, internal conflicts and the lack of food to properly maintain a large army, and the invasion of Barbarians, were among the reasons of the end of the Roman Empire.

In ideal conditions, the one person one vote idea would make an ideal way for democracy. Each person votes and the votes are treated equally and we get a good democratic process. However, gerrymandering influences this because you organize the districts in such a way that unwanted votes are outnumbered by wanted votes. For example, there is a huge African-American community that could affect the statewide electoral voting. Since racist people would like to disenfranchise the voters, they would draw the districts in such a way that the huge African-American community loses its power through being separated into various smaller groups where other votes outnumber them.
