Concerning governance

Governments all over the world do two things. 1. Make it a crime for its people not to give it money; and 2. make promises to its people once in a few years. Only one of these is compulsory, the other is strictly optional, especially if it doesn't mind being labelled a dictatorship.

There is also the "Rule of A" regarding any legislation a government enacts. In a dictatorship, there is the single Rule of A, which, in English, is that a minority is "Above" the law. Governments that want to avoid being labelled as dictatorships generally have two Rules of A - 1. No one is "Above" the law, and, 2. while no one is above the law, laws are not "Applied" on certain individuals, usually those above a certain socio-economic status.

Here ends the lesson. You're welcome.
