Governed

A government is the system or group of people governing an organized community, often a state.

The main purpose of government is to seek the welfare of the civilians and to fulfill their need for the betterment of the nation.

In the case of its broad associative definition, government normally consists of legislature, executive, and judiciary. Government is a means by which organizational policies are enforced, as well as a mechanism for determining policy. Each government has a kind of constitution, a statement of its governing principles and philosophy. Typically the philosophy chosen is some balance between the principle of individual freedom and the idea of absolute state authority (tyranny).
