| | New Georgia Encyclopedia: Government and Laws of Georgia: Overview |
 | | Local government is the oldest form of government in Georgia, and the city of Savannah is recognized as the oldest government in the state. | | | Because local governments are creatures of the state, state law controls their revenue sources. | | | The Constitution was recognized as the supreme law of the land, but under the federal system certain powers were granted exclusively to the national government (for example, coining money and national defense) or to the states (for example, creating local governments and regulating marriages and divorces). |

| | Welcome to the Institute for Liberal Values of New Zealand |
| | For, between the Government, which lavishes promises which it is impossible to perform, and the public, which has conceived hopes which can never be realized, two classes of men interpose - the ambitious and the Utopians. | | | They expected, more firmly than ever, that Government, under a republican form, would open in grand style the source of benefits and close that of taxation. | | | You see that the gentle hand of Government - that good hand which gives and distributes, will be very busy under the government of the reformers. |

| | Democracy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Liberal democracy is sometimes the de facto form of government, while other forms are technically the case; for example, Canada has a monarchy, but is in fact ruled by a democratically elected Parliament. | | | Democracy is a form of government in which policy is decided by the preference of the majority in a decision-making process, usually elections or referenda, open to all or most citizens. | | | The democratic peace theory - DPT for short - is often quoted as evidence of the advantages of democracy, and its superiority to other forms of government. |

| | Presidential system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Most parliamentary governments have a symbolic head of state in the form of a "president" or monarch. | | | Presidential governments make no distinction between the positions of Head of state and Head of government, both of which are held by the president. | | | Divided government, where the presidency and the legislature are controlled by different parties, is said to restrain the excesses of both parties, and guarantee bipartisan input into legislation. |

| | Politics of India - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | According to its constitution, India is a "sovereign socialist secular democratic republic." Like the United States, India has a federal form of government. | | | Formation of coalition governments reflects the transition in Indian politics away from the national parties toward smaller, narrower-based regional parties. | | | In terms to the former, "the Centre", the national government, can and has dismissed state governments if no majority party (-ies) are able to form a government or under specific Constitutional clauses, and can impose direct federal rule known as President's rule. |

| | The Myth of Democratic Peace: Why Democracy Cannot Deliver Peace in the 21st Century by James Ostrowski |
| | When the government allows citizens to sue itself in its own courts, all it is doing is exercising a glorified form of self-help, precisely the horror of horrors for those who decry anarchy. | | | Democracy is a form of government which, by and large, places persons and their property at the mercy of the vagaries of majoritarian politics over which, as individuals, they have essentially no control, and to which, therefore, they cannot be deemed, under any view but the fantastic, to have consented. | | | The natural tendency of democratic government is to grow in size, power and scope, a critical fact that seems to have escaped the notice of the democratic pacifists. |

| | A form of government is a colloquial term that refers to the set of political institutions by which a state is organized in order to exert its powers over a political community (based roughly on Kopstein and Lichbach, 2005: 4)[1]. | | | A system generally seen as a representative democracy (for instance Canada, India and the United States) may in fact also include measures providing for: a degree of direct democracy in the form of referenda; for deliberative democracy in the form of the extensive processes required for constitutional amendment. | | | De facto (effective control) or De jure (nominal control of government). |

| | World government - Free Encyclopedia |
| | According to the functional school, world government would arise through all the nations of the world gradually establishing bodies to deal with particular issues (trade, communications, health, etc.) -- these bodies would slowly grow in power, and, having succeeded their parent states in terms of importance, finally be federated to form one world government. | | | Nevertheless, it is argued, that examples such as the evolution of the United States government, can demonstrate that ingenuity, education, statesmanship, and other proactive efforts can also advance support among the masses and leaders for a greater political and social union based on justice, consultation, and respect for state and individual rights. | | | The idea of world government is often explored in science fiction, either as a central theme or as part of the "furniture" of a vision of the future. |
