The greater part of the governments on earth may be termed monarchical aristocracies, or hereditary dominions independent of the people.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We stand a better chance with aristocracy, whether hereditary or elective, than with monarchy.
The best Governments of the World have bin composed of Monarchy, Aristocracy, and Democracy.
Of the various forms of government which have prevailed in the world, an hereditary monarchy seems to present the fairest scope for ridicule.
The best reason why Monarchy is a strong government is, that it is an intelligible government. The mass of mankind understand it, and they hardly anywhere in the world understand any other.
The kingdom of God is a theocracy. And as it is the only form of government which will redeem and save mankind, it is necessary that every soul should be rightly and thoroughly instructed in regard to its nature and general characteristics.
While hereditary chiefs inhabit the apex of our traditional social systems, it would be a mistake to think they hold all the power. They aren't kings. They aren't dictators. They're answerable to their clans and their matriarchs. All decisions that affect our communities require lengthy, deliberate discussions and careful negotiation.
Well, when did this become a monarchy? You know, we are the people. The president works for us and, you know, we need to remember that.
The kingdom of God is an order of government established by divine authority. It is the only legal government that can exist in any part of the universe.
Nations, like individuals in a state of nature, are equal and independent, possessing certain rights and owing certain duties to each other.
Democracy... while it lasts is more bloody than either aristocracy or monarchy. Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide.
