Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the governing principles of modern government, examining the history of various nations to illustrate how expediency often takes precedence over abstract ideals like justice and right. The author argues that no government can be truly successful without adapting to the needs and circumstances of its people, and that the only judges of those needs are the people themselves. The book provides valuable insights into the nature of government and its relationship to the governed, exploring the different ways in which power has been wielded throughout history. Ultimately, the author concludes that the most effective governments are those that are able to balance expediency with the principles of justice and right, creating a system that is both responsive to the needs of the people and respectful of their fundamental rights.
