Style and working of Governments
The moment and place when human governments developed is lost in time. However, history does record the formation of Govt. about 5000 years back. First small city-states came into existence and by second millennium some of them developed into larger governed areas. The word "government" derives from a Greek word. Government is a system or group of people governing an organised community. Main purpose of the Govt. is to seek welfare of civilians and fulfill their needs for betterment of the nation.
