[/quote] I prefer a kind of Burkean monarchy where the Monarch's rights are given by the consent of the people and checked by a legislative body.

Unfortunately it is abused in Iran. [/quote] Theocracy did not work in Geneva. Quite the contrary, Calvinist Geneva on a regular basis had witch-hunts and the execution of those who opposed Calvin or Calvinism. (Re Michael Servantes).

Era Might Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Preferably a democracy that recognized the moral authority of the Church. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloysius Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 a republic in which whole families chose their representatives, perhaps including a royal family who chose the head/president/whatever okay, so it'd have to be pretty small scale for that to work. but anyway, even on a larger scale I support a republic; not a democracy. the less federalization, the better of course a horse of course.

Mercy me Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Democratic Republic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tindomiel Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I think a Democratic Republic, like the USA is in practice one of the best forms of government possible. Of course, my "ideal state" would change a few things about the Constitution and so forth; for example, I would make it clear that authority to govern comes from God, not "the people," and try to make it difficult for people to try to silence Christians by citing "freedom of religion". But other than that, I think that the USA was founded fairly wisely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didymus Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 The government in America today would be fine if the people had good morals. "The government does not have to listen to the Church. The government listens to the people and the people listen to the Church." - Archbishop Chaput, Archdiocese of Denver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
