Crises significantly impact government stability by creating uncertainty and often leading to political upheaval. Situations such as economic downturns, natural disasters, or health emergencies can undermine public trust in leaders, prompting calls for reform or regime change. Governments may implement drastic measures to maintain order, but these actions can further provoke dissent. Additionally, crises can lead to the erosion of civil liberties, fostering an environment of instability where the status quo is threatened.
