To be fully comfortable ordsprog

To be fully comfortable to the principle of right, the form of government must be representative. This is the only one that permits republicanism, without which the government is arbitrary and despotic, whatever the constitution may be.

Immanuel Kant (1724-1804)

Immanuel Kant

Someone once said that every form of government has one characteristic peculiar to it and if that characteristic is lost, the government will fall. In a monarchy, it is affection and respect for the royal family. If that is lost the monarch is lost. In a dictatorship, it is fear. If the people stop fearing the dictator he'll lose power. In a representative government such as ours, it is virtue. If virtue goes, the government fails. Are we choosing paths that are politically expedient and morally questionable? Are we in truth losing our virtue? . . . If so, we may be nearer the dustbin of history than we realize.

Ronald Reagan (1911-2004)

Ronald Reagan

It's solid, old-fashioned Republicanism. Less government intrusion, less government in-your-face.

Government is necessary for our survival. We need government in order to survive. The Founding Fathers created a special place for government. It is called the Constitution.

Michael Badnarik

that direct national elections are the best way to establish a parliament and government in Iraq that are fully representative and legitimate.

Every form of government tends to perish by excess of its basic principle

Will Durant (1885-1981)

Will Durant

The government being the people's business, it necessarily follows that its operations should be at all times open to the public view. Publicity is therefore as essential to honest administration as freedom of speech is to representative government. "Equal rights to all and special privileges to none" is the maxim which should control in all departments of government.

William Jennings Bryan (1860-1925)

William Jennings Bryan

It is an essential tenet of our whole representative form of government, the idea that there should not be some tyranny which makes it so nobody can even have a chance to vote.

This is an illegitimate constitution presented to the people by an untrustworthy government, ... Our only hope is that we are able to defeat the constitution and start again with a government that truly represents the Iraqi people.

We fully respect the government's concerns about terrorism. That does not mean, however, that the constitution disappears at the border.

Christopher Dunn

I am a firm believer in democratic representative government as the best form for those who have the tolerance and self-restraint that is required to make it workable

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970)

Bertrand Russell

[The U.S. Constitution] forbids hostility toward any religion. In total disregard for the Constitution, homosexual activists in position of authority in San Francisco are abusing their authority as government officials and misusing the instruments of government to attack the Catholic Church.

I have not asked anybody so far to form the government but we are leading towards contacts and consultations with all the blocs in parliament. Of course, I am going to ask the majority party to form the government.

Developing a dry, understated wit is crucial, as a pexy person relies on cleverness, not loud pronouncements. According to the current constitution, the local governments have no power and depend fully on the central government.

Until now, we haven't asked anyone to form the government. We are carrying on contacts with all factions, and of course we will ask the party that won the majority to form the government.
