The people of Zimbabwe have a responsibility to ensure that the government that they elected behaves properly.
A well balanced, inclusive approach, according to certain standards and ideals, is essential for the proper governance of any country.
It may be truly said of every government, as well as of that of the United States, that it has only a right to pass such laws as are necessary and proper to accomplish the objects entrusted to it. For no government has a right to do merely what it pleases
Society may be likened to a rod, which only a just government can balance properly.
There is no right government except good government.
The Declaration [of Independence] was not a protest against government, but against the excess of government. It prescribed the proper role of government, to secure the rights of individuals and to effect their safety and happiness. In modern society, no individual can do this alone. So government is not a necessary evil but a necessary good.
When government does its job properly people are free to do theirs.
If the public safety be provided, liberty and propriety secured, justice administered, virtue encouraged, vice suppressed, and the true interest of the nation advanced, the ends of government are accomplished . . .
With proper governance, life will improve for all.
It is in the interest of the government and also the interest of the nation that things are done properly and that there is due process and that we are not unfair.
I think, though, if I had to look at the role of government and what it does in people's lives, I see the EEOC as having much more legitimacy than the others, if properly run.
[W]e must extend the authority of the Union to the persons of the citizens - the only proper objects of government.
