The given couplet of ALEXANDER POPE refers that let the fools fight with each other for the various forms of government i.e. DEMOCRATIC, MONARCHY, DICTATORSHIP. As the best form of government is the one with the best administration where people enjoy their rights and are happy as the ultimate aim of a government is to work for the betterment of the citizens of the country.

For forms of government let the fools contest; whatever is the best administered is the best. what is the meaning of this couplet". This couplet was by Alexander Pope, it is an extract from, Essays on Man

Explanation:

  • It implies that it makes no difference if a nation is governed as a republic, or a monarchy, or some other form of govt; what matters is whether the govt. attains  good results.
  • The issue here is that it assumes we know what a "good " administration really is. A policy that helps the rich and powerful while leaving the poor in the ruins to struggle and die would seem to people certain key people and the elite to be' good' but would not seem very good at all to the starving people.
