Nearly all men can exist in adversary bt if you want to check a man's true character, give him power

My adversary have not given any argument, no rebuttals only suggestions without proof. My opponent said 'power don't corrupt' where he sighted example that giving a man power will not corrupt him. But then, lets be logical I said two things in course of this debate which includes 1.power shows a man's true character(my premise) 2.absolute power corrupts. Where I have explanation with facts though my adversary conveniently ignored them. Now reacting to the instance which the con gave, that giving a man gun won't corrupt him. Lets use armed robbers as example. If armed robbers should get hold of you, they will deal with you and take your belongings. What makes you think they do this? Do you think is because of the heavy heart they 've got? Certainly no. Its because of that weapon which they are carrying that will make them behave anyhow. NO WOUNDER!!! Lord acton said '"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men."' www.acton.org>Acton Home>PUBLICATIONS>Religion& Liberty>Volume 2, Number 6. NO WOUNDER, they said' give him power and see his true man'...what am saying in essence is this, absolute power corrupts. It seems like my opponent don't understand this phrase. Note the word 'absolute' and then attach it to power you will see that lord acton was right. ""Power tends to corrupt,"" said Lord Acton, the 19th-century British historian. ""Absolute power corrupts absolutely."" His maxim has been vividly illustrated in psychological studies, notably the 1971 Stanford Prison Experiment, which was halted when one group of students arbitrarily assigned to serve as ""prison guards"" over another group began to abuse their wards. www.phrases.org.uk>Home>Phrase Dictionary - Meanings and Origins. My opponent rightly pointed out that I have the BOP to prove. Quite well I agree, but he will equally prove why power won't corrupt, and why power won't show a man's true character. Please readers, am trying to give a historical explanation of the motion as my opponent said in his second argument. Perhaps to say that X corrupts Y is to say that X changes Y in a way that is regrettable. If that is what Acton meant, then to say that power corrupts is to say that power makes people worse persons. Perhaps access to power makes one more prone to violate the rights and freedoms of others, more vicious, and so on. The freedom of information bill (foi) which was passed in the year 2011 gave the press autonomous power to act as watch dog of the society but the reverse is the case currently in the developing country, Nigeria. Because the press are no longer doing their job probably because power has been given to them by that bill. Now power can equally show that one is good. Because there are people who if you give them power, they will work accordingly. But where my resolution rests on is this: 'Absolute' power corrupts. My opponent said he don't understand what I meant by 'turning into a fly' now what I mean there is that she turned to be uncontrolable. In conclusion. Resolved: absolute power corrupts, a man's true character can be determined if you give him power...I AWAIT MY OPPONENTS ANSWERS AND REBUTTALS
