"That government is best which governs least"
- Henry David Thoreau
This quote is implying that a government which has the least say or amount of power is better for the people. The author holds high standards for the citizens decisions rather than our government's. The idea produced from this quote is almost a governmentless society with excessive freedom to the people. I disagree with this statement because too much freedom can be dangerous and self destructing. We need guidelines in our life to keep us on track and balanced. Any society with too much power, either in the government or people, can cause corruption.
