The reason for government.
The reason for government is always the same. It is to unite the people to preform a common goal. What that goal may be depends on the ideal of the people; but the role of government is ALWAYS the same: United Effort.
In order to get that unity any government HAS to do three things:
1. Create laws move people to that goal (legislate )
2. Enforce those laws. (executive)
3. Have a trusted means to settle disputes with in the nation (judicial)
Now over time in a lot of history these powers were held by the Lord over the commons or the king over the lords; at a later date ( depends on the history) the commons could in some cases appeal to the king. ( or the the church...God would judge)
BUT the three branches : legislative ...executive...judicial.,,ARE always there and the king or Tsar held those powers.( I know that there are practical limits the king may have the right to behead the duke, but the duke has a personal army..or in our case the common people ( that would be us are armed) But in theory the lord holds that power. Now that works fine..if you get a wise and fair king but what if the next king is a tyrant or a fool? Now since people truly dont like to give up power, since that is giving up freedom and yet unless you are an idiot you know that as long as it is possible every effort should be made to maintain order and prevent civil war. How did people ensure the status quo? For a very large part of human history by birth line. Joe or Mary rules becouse their father or mother did. Fine as has been said as long as they can do the job...but what if you get a fool and the people of power cannot agree on a replacement? Or as has been the case
CIVIL WAR.
