Question

what are the interesting element of the various government

Answer 1

In order to discuss the elements of a civil society it is first necessary to provide a context by defining the elements of government and society overall. The goal here is not to delve too deeply into all aspects of government, but to define a basic but comprehensive framework model for government, primarily government in the United States, that will facilitate a discussion of civil society.

A separate paper elaborates the Elements of Society, of which government is only one part.

The intention is to focus on government in modern, western-style societies, with the United States as the main focus, but including Europe and other regions of the world as well.
