What would happen if members of Parliament were paid to serve the government in the early 1800s?
If the Members of Parliament (MPs) were paid to serve the government they would be bound to approve of all the actions taken by the executive branch of the government. This is not what is intended in a parliamentary democracy. Here the MPs are intended to be representatives of the people in the constituency from which they have won an election from. So, it naturally follows that the MPs are paid to serve the people by legislating laws in the parliament and by acting as a check to make sure that the decisions of the government reflects the will of the people.

The National Security Council is an advisory board to the President. It has no specific powers. Its purpose is to collect and analyze all information which pertains to US national security (that is, anything which threatens the physical or economic well-being of the US), and advise the President as to the nature, level of threat, and possible solutions to such problems. The NSC is the primary advisory body looking for multi-focal, long-term, and/or broad-based threats to US security.
The NSC receives information from a whole host of services, through primarily from four sources: (1) various national intelligence agencies (CIA, FBI, DIA, NSA, etc.) (2) US Military (3) State Department (particularly, the Foreign Service), and (4) international mass media. The NSC does NOT engage in intelligence gathering of its own - rather, it is an analytical body (it determines the meaning and relevance of other people's information).

What is a dictorial government?
A dictatorial government is one that is run with unlimited power by the head of government or head of state.
A dictatorial government is defined as an autocratic form of government in which the government is ruled by an individual, the dictator, without hereditary ascension. It has three possible meanings: # Roman dictator are a republic political office of the Roman Republic. Roman dictators were allocated absolute power during times of emergency. Their power was originally neither arbitrary nor unaccountable, being subject to law and requiring retrospective justification. There were no such dictatorships after the beginning of the 2nd century BC, and later dictators such as Sulla and the Roman Emperors exercised power much more personally and arbitrarily. # A government controlled by one person or a small group of people. # In contemporary usage, dictatorship refers to an autocratic form of absolute rule by leadership unrestricted by law, constitutions, or other social and political factors within the state. For some scholars, dictatorship is a form of government that has the power to govern without consent of those being governed, while totalitarianism describes a state that regulates nearly every aspect of public and private behavior of the people. In other words, dictatorship concerns the source of the governing power (where the power comes from) and totalitarianism concerns the scope of the governing power (what is the government). In this sense, dictatorship (government without people's consent) is a contrast to democracy (government whose power comes from people) and totalitarianism (government controls every aspect of people's life) opposes pluralism (government allows multiple lifestyles and opinions). Though the definitions of the terms differ, they are related in reality as most of the dictatorship states tend to show totalitarian characteristics. When governments' power does not come from the people, their power is not limited and tend to expand their scope of power to control every aspect of people's life.
