This arose as a quotation by John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton, first Baron Acton (1834-1902). The historian and moralist, who was otherwise known simply as Lord Acton, expressed this opinion in a letter to Bishop Mandell Creighton in 1887: "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men."Another answerWilliam Pitt, Earl of Chatham, expressed that thought in a speech in 1770. The poet Percy Bysshe Shelly expressed it in Queen Mab, 1813. But the most usual and best-known attribution is to Lord Acton (John Emerich Dalberg-Acton), who wrote, in a letter to Bishop Mandell Creighton (April 5, 1887), "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

Lord Acton did not support the idea of an absolute monarchy. He believed that concentrated power in the hands of one individual or entity could lead to tyranny and abuse of power. Acton advocated for limits on governmental authority and the protection of individual liberties.
