Compare and contrast Creon's power to execute Antigone while ignoring the voice of his people to our modern justice system. How would Antigone's situation be handled in today's world?

In today's world there are a few details about the situation that would have been different. First of all, Creon's proclamation that Antigone's brother is not to be buried would have to go through so many different channels before becoming something that is actually a law that could be broken. Then, when Antigone disobeys those orders, she would be put on trial by a jury of her peers and judged that way. Creon would not have absolute power to make laws and punish those who break them so severely. Especially a crime so light as throwing a bit of dirt over a body would not be punished so harshly.
