Question

Is the government of your state functioning effectively?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

I suppose, in the sort term, dictatorship is the most effective because the dictator can use force to suppress dissent.

In the much longer term, it has to be true democracy (where every member of the community participates in the process of seeking out and elevating the best representatives of the common interest to political leadership positions) because the process absorbs dissent by reducting it to its most essential element: it effect on the participants in the electoral process. Instead of using force to suppress dissent, a true democracy will sift throught the pooulace to find the individuals best able to resolve adversarial encounters to the advantage of the commonweal.
