What is home rule in government?
820830
Sort of what it implies. Home rule. Rule by the local governments. What it originated more from was the Irish wanting more control over themselves instead of being ruled by the British. So now it implies semi-autonomy for almost any country or region controlled by someone else. Usually it is seen by the country being controlled as a step to full independence, but not necessarily so.\nCheck out these sites for more info:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_rule\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_Rule_Act_1914

Government in and of itself is neutral. It's a tool, like a hammer. It is what is done with government that is good or bad.

In an autocratic government one person rules with unlimited power. That definition would include dictatorships. \n\nIn a democratic government a majority of people rule. Examples are New England town meetings, and the ancient Greek city states, where the citizens met together to decide on laws.\n \nIn a representative democracy, such as the U.S., the people elect representatives to make the laws that govern the citizens

Simple.  A group of previously independent states give up some of their power and decision making to a centralized body, agreeing to abide by the rules set by that centralized body.  In return, the states gain from joint defense and joint funding of key nationwide programs.

The rule of law is a principle founded on the plains of England in the Magna Carta.  It is exemplified by countries like the United States and Australia.\nIt simply means that all people within the citizenship are equal in the eyes of the law.  It is why the statue of Justice has a blind-fold, so that she cannot see how pretty you are or what color your skin is.  She cannot tell how much money you have, either.\nEqual rights under the law means that everyone is subject to the same treatment in court and by extension, in society in general.

Government knows best whats good FOR GOVERNMENT, namely keeping us "teaming masses" in check.  Since government not gonna voluntarily give up its power, YOU must choose your areas of freedom. The man can't be everywhere, all the time.

A regime (occasionally spelled "régime", particularly in older texts) denotes any system of social control, or more specifically, a form of government, especially one which is closely associated with a specific individual (eg. "the Saddam regime", or "the Salazar regime"), or based on a particular ideology (eg. "a communist" regime", "a fascist regime", or "a military regime").

The best way to govern is to have an altruistic dictatorship.  Someone who decides what is best for the people with the people's well-being the only deciding factor in his or her mind.  Since it is a dictatorship, there would be no beauracracy to get in the way, either.
