Background info on my philosophy
I used to travel to different European countries to study different forms of government. During this time, I got fantasized by why people allowed themselves to rule (in addition that all humans are selfish and ignorant beings that do anything to possible make their positions more "worthy" than others. Foolish competition if you ask me) and what would be the most successful type of government. In my work, Leviathan, I stated how people are naturally wicked and could not be trusted to rule. I fully believe that absolute monarchy is the way to go and in being dead, my perspective on this topic has not changed. Having government in rule over the people is a better alternative because it prevents the overtaking of evil motives created by the people to take hold on. It keeps us in check pretty much. As you can tell, a democracy is a "no go" for me. Having a diverse group of representatives in rule next to the king will help prevent him from being cruel and unfair. People, in some ways, would have there voices heard ,but all final decisions are made in favor of the ruler.

Idk, about people being wicked. I agree with goverment setting a basic platform for people to follow by so they dont get off the wrong track, but I think there are intelligent people in the world that could handle the indepence without complete control of the goverment hanging over them .
