RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Government

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.
Authority

Abuse

Democracy
