Ugh. Politics. define government?

[WhitneyM]

Define Government:
A Government is a ruling power in a political society.


"That government is best which governs least" - commonly attributed to Thomas Jefferson.

Based on this quote and the general definition of the term "government", do you agree or disagree with this quote?
why or why not?
define "self-government" ?

I think the meaning of the quote should be the less government in our actual faces the better. Not the least as in does nothing, but rather does not bother us...cheers
