Governments

The most predominant form of government throughout history has been based on voluntary systems composed of individual families who freely gather in a network of free assemblies. The people intentionally chose to form what was called the tens, hundreds, and thousands. The original nation of Israel, the Teutons, and many others societies all did this including the early Christians who gathered in this manner commanded by Christ so they could provide a Daily ministration in order to bind society over a vast area into a cohesive nation by love for one another instead of by force.
In the government of God Christ substituted taxes with charity, force with vountarism, allegiance with faith. This form of self-government which allowed the power of the "state" to remain with the individual was demonstrated in the practice of Pure Religion which was the Corban of Christ which set the people free.

Government narrowly defined

Government is presently defined as the governing body of a nation, state, or community.

The word is also defined as:

"the system by which a nation, state, or community is governed."

Which may include:

"the action or manner of controlling or regulating a nation, organization, or people."

And:

"the group of people in office at a particular time; administration."

The word government is from the Greek word kuberman which means steer. It has come to mean rule or force due to a pervasive types of Statism which uses force or exercise authority one over the other.

We assume that government is always a matter of force by those who govern. But the word govern only means:

"conduct the policy, actions, and affairs of (a state, organization, or people)."

Broader view

While a government may include "rulers" who exercise authority, no where do these definitions of "government" require a "ruler" who rules over the people. There is a rich history of governments and nations operating as diversified networks of voluntary systems of individuals living by the perfect law of liberty.

In fact, “our modern reliance on government to make law and establish order is not the historical norm.”^[1]

What if "the system by which a nation, state, or community is governed" only included people who did not exercise authority or "rule" one over the other?

What if "the action or manner of controlling or regulating a nation, organization, or people" was the result of freewill cooperation of self governing individuals who governed their own choice without exercising authority or "ruling" one over the other?

What if "the group of people in office at a particular time" provided a daily ministration by voluntarism and charity through the perfect law of liberty without exercising rule one over the other?

What if conduct and policy, actions, and affairs of (a state, organization, or people). was to not exercise authority one over the other?

What if it was the policy of a particular form of "government" to only serve the people without being rulers, through a voluntary system of public affairs where those people in government were not allowed to exercise authority one over the other?

Agreed

Most government types come about because of some form of Social contract in a direct or indirect form.

Most all government types include some form of centralized power in the hands of one or a small group of rulers who exercise authority one over the other. The amount of power may vary, as in the case of Minarchism versus Communism or Fascism.

The manner in which these "rulers' are established may also very such as monarchy verse a direct or indirect democracy.

They are established by forms of agreement or capitulation.

Powers

It is important to note all power of government originates in the individual or individual families.

Almost all stories of the origin of mankind begin with the idea of one man and one woman endowed by a creator with the right or power of choice.

This power, which comes in several forms, is often like the camels nose in the tent. Once some power or power of choice originating in individuals is granted or vested to a central government, it usually leads to more and more power relinquished by the people because the men who seek offices of power will desire more power.

purpose of government

According to John Locke, the main purpose of government is to protect the natural rights of individuals, such as life, liberty, and property or as the Declaration of Independence states, "the pursuit of happiness.

Locke believed that people are equal according to the Natural Law and have the right to protect those natural rights themselves. The rights are equal in society, even though some may have more property or resources, and therefore power than others. He argued that governments are necessary to ensure that everyone's rights are protected equally.

Government are created in the image of the people deriving their just powers from the tacit or direct consent of the people. As power increase in the ruling class they may begin to recreate the people. The nature of the institutions of government by default or design recreate or degenerate the people.

The limiting the power of governments through constitutions will require the people to religiously exercise more responsibility of choice in free assemblies.

A constitutional Republic often leads to Democracy and to other forms of Collectivism, and then Socialism which leads to Communism. A religious dependence on Altruism by the diligent Anarchist may produce a Viable republic or at least a Republican form of government functioning according to the Perfect law of liberty, which was The Way to set society free.

But there are many forms of government.

We find the word kubernesis^[10] translated government in 1 Corinthians 12:28 "And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues."

Christ appointed a government that was not to exercise authority one over the other. But that "one form of government" was to provide benefits for the welfare of the people through Charity, or what was called Corban, made possible by the Freewill offerings of the people willing to practice Pure Religion instead of the Covetous Practices of most of the people of the World.
