Humans have always had some form or
another of government. They found it
necessary for protection from other
individuals and tribes. It took many
forms such as stronger individuals,
military leaders, and groups that
the societies looked for advice to
the , enforcement of traditions,
religions and other features of
their existence. The main ideas of
government are what is called
Theories of Power such as
Force Theory caused by conquest,
Evolutionary Theory as a result
of changes in tribal structures,
Divine Right Theory, to maintain
or justify a religion and political
power and royal position and finally
Social Contract Theory to
maintain mutual protection and to
justify the position of a sovereign
Much of out present systems have
evolved from Greece, Rome the Middle
Ages and the Enlightenment. Today we
face challenges to the present forms
of Democracies, and Republics.
Authoritarian leaning individuals,
organizations, religions, government
and social media are using
political, military, economic and
social pressure to create and
influence the many world
governments. We as individuals must
understand what is happening and use
common sense and history to prevent
the loss of our freedoms by using
protesting, voting,
social media, legal avenues, political
pressure and
in some cases religious resources.
Education is the key to understand
what is happening and we should insist
that what is being taught involve
questioning and thinking. It is
important that governments are
created
to do the bidding of the people not
specific individuals, organizations,
businesses or foreign governments.
Remember we
have a government of the people ,
for the people and by the people. |

"America will never be
destroyed from the outside. If we
falter and lose our freedoms, it
will be because we destroyed it
ourselves." Lincoln |

Sir Winston Churchill:
"It has been said that democracy is
the worst form of government except
all the others that have been tried
from time to time." |
