Government "natural and political law. The manner in which sovereignty is exercised in each state. There are three simple forms of government, the democratic, the aristocratic, and monarchical. But these three simple forms may be varied to infinity by the mixture and divisions of their different powers. Sometimes by the word government is understood the body of men, or the individual in the state, to whom is entrusted the executive power. It is taken in this sense when the government is spoken of in opposition to other bodies in the state. Taxes Government's forcible collection of money from the supposedly free citizens. The excuse for this is catering for the needs of others, as well as vague concepts like "general interest" or the country's public welfare. In democratic countries, taxes are theoretically legitimized by the majority's will via laws enacted by a representative parliament, but the fundamental flaw remains that the taxed citizen has not been invited to negotiate the tax individually.
