| | Government - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Under traditional forms of government that ruled most of the world until a few centuries ago, such as monarchy and oligarchy, these powers were concentrated in the hands of one person or a small group of people. | | | One of the most influential theories of government in the past two hundred years has been the social contract, on which modern democracy and most forms of socialism are founded. | | | The various forms of conservatism, by contrast, generally see the government as a positive force that brings order out of chaos, establishes laws to end the "war of all against all", encourages moral virtue while punishing vice, and respects tradition. |

| | 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. | | | 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. | | | Political legitimacy is the willingness of the population to accept decisions of the state (government and courts), which go against personal choices or interests. |

| | Institutional Factors in Consolidation of Post-Communist Democracies1 |
| | Thus, empirical evidence contradicts the hypothesis that mixed forms of government have negative results in terms of democratic consolidation due to alleged increase of the tension between the head of state and parliament. | | | Parliamentary government and proportional representation are expected to facilitate development of a party system as the main link between society and politics; while introduction of presidential government and majoritarian representation may offer better options for a personalised politics with direct appeal to the people. | | | Hellman (1997) claimed that presidential governments are also less apt to urgent reforms in transitional societies. |

| | Comparative government - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Comparative government or more correctly comparative politics is the field in political science that focuses on comparing the varying forms of government in the world, and the states they govern, though it may also compare governments across different periods of history. | | | Depending on the form of government this can be the most powerful branch such as in dictatorships or it can be weaker than the legislative branch as in most democracies. | | | Are the "voice of the people," and are expected to act on behalf and at the behest of the "common person" ensuring that the "common person" is represented in their government and so have a voice in that government. |

| | The political Constitution of the United States appears to me to be one of the forms of government that a democracy may adopt; but I do not regard the American Constitution as the best, or as the only one, that a democratic people may establish. | | | Defects of a democratic government easy to be discovered--Its advantages discerned only by long observation--Democracy in America often inexpert, but the general tendency of the laws is advantageous--In the American democracy public officers have no permanent interests distinct from those of the majority--Results of this state of things. | | | The government of a democracy brings the notion of political rights to the level of the humblest citizens, just as the dissemination of wealth brings the notion of property within the reach of all men; to my mind, this is one of its greatest advantages. |

| | Appendix III to Limited Federal Government |
| | Federal welfare, in its myriad forms, has reduced not only individuals to a state of dependency; state and local governments are also on the fast track to elimination, due to their functions being subverted by the command and control structures of federal “revenue sharing” programs. | | | Federal commandeering of state governments is such a novel phenomenon that this Court's first experience with it did not occur until the 1970's, when the Environmental Protection Agency promulgated regulations requiring States to prescribe auto emissions testing, monitoring and retrofit programs, and to designate preferential bus and carpool lanes. | | | The Government misplaces its reliance on portions of The Federalist [Papers] suggesting that federal responsibilities could be imposed on state officers. |

| | Different races are suited for different forms of government, and the question which meets the politician is not so much what is abstractly the best state, but what is the best state under existing circumstances. | | | There are thus three true forms of government: monarchy, aristocracy, and constitutional republic. | | | The classification of constitutions is based on the fact that government may be exercised either for the good of the governed or of the governing, and may be either concentrated in one person or shared by a few or by the many. |
