While the previous 19 rings were crafted with the help of the Elves, the final ring, the 'One Ring to rule them all,' was crafted by Sauron alone; with the ability to dominate the other rings, the One Ring was made with some of Sauron's own power, in order to make it more powerful.
Powers. The Ring's primary power was control of the other Rings of Power and domination of the wills of their users. The Ring also conferred power to dominate the wills of other beings whether they were wearing Rings or not—but only in proportion to the user's native capacity.
The most powerful among them was the Witch-king of Angmar, who was eventually slain by Éowyn in The Return of the King, changing the tide of war against Sauron. The One Ring, forged with Sauron's own power, could control the minds of all other ring-bearers.
It was part of Sauron's scheme to ensnare and enslave the users of all the rings of power and so control the Noldor of Middle-earth. Sauron planned for the domination of all of Middle-earth and he needed/wanted to control the Elves to complete this plan. This was the reason for the forging of the One Ring.
The One Ring is powerful because of its intimate connection to Sauron, the Dark Lord. “The Ring is the Dark Lord, and the Dark Lord is the Ring.” But mastering the Ring's power (and this is critical to the story) takes significant time.
As for Sam, his resistance likely has to do with his innate goodness and loyalty. His love for Frodo helped him to overcome the pull of the Ring and his inner pureness was never fully pierced by the Ring.
The first is that Bilbo is a hobbit, and as such, is particularly difficult to manipulate or corrupt. Hobbits have a natural resistance to the influence of the ring, because they are fully content in their simple lives and have no desires for power or war.

The One Ring Made Sauron Weaker - Kind Of
Because Sauron lost his Ring, his power severely diminished, and it took him thousands of years to rebuild his power. Even after Sauron declared himself again, his sole focus was on finding the Ring, not on solidifying his dominion.
In The Lord of the Rings, it is said that had Galadriel chosen to use her powers for evil instead of good, she would have been even more destructive and terrifying than Sauron himself. Galadriel was the greatest and most powerful of all Elves in Middle Earth in the Third Age.
Another extraordinary capacity Bombadil possessed was his immunity to the power of the One Ring; he could see Frodo when Frodo wore it, and could wear it himself with no effect. He even tossed the Ring in the air, making it vanish, then produced it from his other hand.
In The Lord of the Rings numerous people including a Maia, elves, men and a hobbit successfully resisted the temptation of Sauron's Ruling Ring.
Sauron. Sauron is thought to have created the One Ring sometime around year 1600 of the Second Age. He definitely maintained possession of it until he was taken prisoner by Ar-Pharazôn the Golden in 3262 of the Second Age. At this point he has already possessed it for approximately 1662 years.
In the spiritual world, beings are invisible to those in the physical world. This is why Isildur, Bilbo, and Frodo become invisible when they wear the Ring—because they are no longer in the physical world. As Olsen said, Sauron does not have a real body, so he is not affected in the same way.
Sauron, who made the One Ring, forged it on Mount Doom as part of a plan to conquer the peoples of Middle Earth. He gives nineteen other rings to the dwarves, humans, and elves as gifts, but he creates the One Ring, also called the Master Ring, for himself.
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. The One Ring created for The Lord of the Rings trilogy was designed and made by Jens Hansen - Gold & Silversmith of Nelson, New Zealand (Middle-earth). Weta is pleased to be working with Jens Hansen to produce The One Ring in gold plated Tungsten Carbide.
Though someone could start out with good intentions, the Ring would eventually corrupt them. And that is why Gandalf can't touch it. He is afraid that if he did, it would corrupt him and make him just as bad as Sauron since Sauron put so much of himself and his evil into the One Ring.
Sauron's deepest fear was that Aragorn would use the Ring against him. With its powers of domination, Aragorn could comfortably take over the entirety of Sauron's dark army. Though this would eventually corrupt Aragorn, it would allow him to destroy Sauron and take his place.
The ring falls into the fires of Doom by accident as Frodo and Gollum fight over it. It is NOT thrown into the fires by intention. It is NOT destroyed intentionally by Frodo or anyone. My take from this is Tolkien had a lesson: That power is immensely corrupting, and not even our hero is immune to its power.
Another aspect that the series explores is the decision to forge three rings. As Galadriel, Celebrimbor, and Elrond (Robert Aramayo) discuss after the process has already started, it is a way of preventing the concentration of power in a single being's hands.
The theme of addiction to power in The Lord of the Rings is central, as the Ring, made by the Dark Lord Sauron to enable him to take over the whole of Middle-earth, progressively corrupts the mind of its owner to use the Ring for evil.
The One Ring could only be destroyed by the fires of Mount Doom, because that is the place it was made in. The lesser Rings of power could be destroyed by dragon-fire. The Ring falls into the fires of Mount Doom by accident as Frodo and Gollum fight over it. It is not thrown into the fires by intention.
The Fellowship can't ride eagles to Mordor because of the giant, flying snake-dragon monsters ridden by One-Ring-sensing warrior kings and their half-mile-wide aura of fear.
Aragorn knew that he was not immune to the Ring's allure… as the heir of Isildur, he was aware that “the same weakness runs in my blood.” He therefore knew that it was important he never touch or possess the Ring for even a moment. That his only hope to resist it was to take an oath to protect Frodo as the Ring-bearer.
“Mister Frodo” is Sam's way of showing respect to his employer. There is no question that Sam is being respectful toward Frodo but the Shire's aristocratic hierarchy is often overlooked by readers, no doubt because Tolkien rarely mentions it.
