GOVERNMENT

A Short Story

Imagine waking up one morning and discovering there are no laws, no police, no courts, no elections, and no leaders. How would society function? Who would make decisions? Who would protect people's rights? Government helps us understand how societies organize themselves, create laws, maintain order, and promote development.
