Define the term government and its forms. |
|
Answer» Government is one of the four elements (factors) of a state: A human community that inhabits a piece of land, cannot be called a state until there is an organisation in political form. The government is a must for the existence of a state. A state is invisible and so it cannot perform any task. State uses its power of sovereignty through government. A state is a formless institution. The institution giving it a physical form, is the government. The government decides the form of a state. A government has many forms and among them, monarchy, aristocracy, dictatorship and democracy are the main ones. In legal terms, any form of the government can be adopted, but at present, democracy is considered as the best system of governance. |
