I think it was John Locke and Thomas Paine, Our Founding Fathers, guys like them, . they derived a precise definition, a specific term and meaning for Govt...
like when you look it up in Civics,  or the dictionary it should say a few things of what it is, it's function, and what it's supposed to do... I'm afraid to look now, they changed so many things. They don't even have civics anymore to explain it.

Not to insult Lawyers... but I think when they got rid of Civics, in grade school... anyone with knowledge of Govt is a Lawyer, learn a few Lattin words and you're in... Maybe that's why they got so many of them. If they left Civics in grade school, High School... everyone would know what fuck was going on and how we're being hosed.

They traded Civics for a secret Lexicon, that's what it feels like to me. I'm nuts though🤪 😜
