He wasn't his natural son. He wasn't even adopted. He just sort of lived with the family and then went to work for them. Plus, he's a "kraut-mick".

2nd= Why didnt the 3 oldest children fail to succed there father, but Michael was a success?
I'm not quite sure what you're asking. Sonny *did* succeed Vito for a short time, but was killed. Fredo was just too stupid. It fell to Michael to continue the Family business.

3rd= Can someone explain, why when the Corleone's tryed to become a legit company, the government dissapproved of it because the family was corrupted at the beginning, but the government lets companys that dont have a past history of organized crime set up shot, but there more corrupt than the Corleone's were.
The trials in GFII were modeled after the RL mob trials of that time. The Corleones, as an affluent mob Family, were put on trial. The Corleones pretty much represented LCN in Tahoe. If a company doesn't have a past history of OC, then what would make them think that the company
was mobbed up?

4th= What do you think the purpose of Puzo was when he wrote the Godfather. Also why do you think he wrote it?
He wrote it to make money.
