  Britain.tv Wikipedia - Government
Legitimacy is the attribute of a government that prompts the governed to acquiesce willingly to its authority.
Under traditional forms of government that ruled most of the world until a few centuries ago, such as monarchy and oligarchy, these powers were concentrated in the hands of one person or a small group of people.
Governments thus exist for the purpose of serving the needs and wishes of the people, and their relationship with the people is clearly stipulated in a "social contract"?title=(a constitution and a set of laws) which both the government and the people must abide by.

One approach is to define government as the decision-making arm of the state, and define the latter on the basis of the control it has over violence and the use of force within its territory.
Another alternative is to define a government as an organisation that attempts to maintain control of a territory, where "control" involves activities such as collecting taxes, controlling entry and exit to the state, preventing encroachment of territory by neighbouring states and preventing the establishment of alternative governments within the country.

Governments use a variety of methods to maintain the established order, such as police and military forces, (particularly under despotism, see also police state), making agreements with other states, and maintaining support within the state.
A government in a developed state is likely to have various sub-organisations known as offices, departments, or agencies, which are headed by politically appointed officials, often called ministers or secretaries.

One approach is to define Government as the dominant decision-making arm of the state, and define the latter on the basis of the control it has over violence and the use of force within its territory.
Specifically, the state (and by extension the government) has been considered by some to be the entity that holds a monopoly on legitimate use of violence within its territory.
Government (uncountable) can also be defined as the political means of creating and enforcing laws; typically via a bureaucratic hierarchy.

In its broadest sense, "to govern" means to administer or supervise, whether over a state, a set group of people, or a collection of assets.
The word government is derived from the Greek Κυβερνήτης (kyvernites), which means "steersman", "pilot" or "rudder".
That is to say that a legitimate government will "do the right thing" and therefore deserves to be respected and obeyed.

One approach is to define government as the dominant better decision-making arm of the state, and define the latter on the basis of the control it has over violence and the use of force within its territory.
In most modern democracies, the elected legislative assembly has the power to dismiss the government, but in those states that have a separate head of government and head of state, the head of state generally has great latitude in appointing a new one.
Last but certainly not least, one of the most influential theories of government in the past two hundred years has been the social contract, on which modern democracy and most forms of socialism are founded.
