It means that the country/government will serve its citizens,(make decisions in their favor for the good of all, protect) and in turn the people must serve their country. (through works and attitude, by taking up arms if it is threatened) Sorry a rather simple explanation for one of the most awesome works ever written. Hope that helped a bit ;)

To me, the one line answer to describe the role of government is to take care of the people. (That's very general, I realize, but I needed one line to encompass a wide area.) The role of religion, if it really even has something you could call a role, for me would be to give people comfort.

the government is supposed to be the channel to the people from their own country to represent their (the people) voices. and the government is supposesdly to guide the people, to unite them, to serve the people to bring out peace in the world.\n\nbut the government system has been deteriorated nowadays, and like you said, it has helped the rich to be more richer and somehow it tends to lose focus on the objectives of the government system itself. and the poorer gets oppressed now and then.\n\nno government is right in this world. we just have to deal with it and live our life by our own rules at the end of the day.

I believe that it refers to either the absence of power (meaning, no one is in control) or it means that there are no politics going on.\n\nMy guess is that it refers to the absence of a controlling force or entity.  Right now, there is almost a political vacuum in Iraq.  No one is completely in control, which is why there is a civil war brewing.

Contrary to what they tell us it is part of their plan for the new world order. They think the people are unintelligent and are unable to have a government  "of the people, for the people and by the people." Our government rules by their own beliefs, not the beliefs of the majority of the citizens.

The government. The Government sees all. While society is watching each other, the government is watching us.

Toute nation a le gouvernement qu'elle merite.\n\n"Every nation has the government that it deserves."\n\n(Joseph de Maistre (1753-1821), in a letter on the subject of Russia (Lettres et Opuscules Inedits)[15 Aug. 1811])\n\nThere are many countries with a fraction of the natural beauty and human resources of the Philippines that have a far better standard of living.\n\nThe people vote for the government, they tolerate the wholesale corruption in society .. who else is to blame??

Unfortunately, the following quote couldn't be any truer:\n\n"In a democracy, the people get the government they deserve."\n\nHowever, I see your point, and it's unfortunate that the government officials have to bottom out before the people find the effort to rise up and throw the bums out.
