The election of a king or ruler who was both Commander in Chief of the Military and the chief executive officer of Israel was covered in 1 Samuel 8. God warned that he would take and take and take and rule over you and when you cried out God would not hear the people because they were rejecting God by this election.
This power granted by the people into the hands of a ruler or executive and legislative group also leads to corruption. This centralization of power leads to tyranny over others and eventual self-destruction through what we might call The Saul Syndrome.
