| | What is Government? |
 | | The government or administration of a particular locality, especially, the governmental authority of a municipal corporation, as a city or county, over its local and individual affairs, exercised in virtue of power delegated to it for that purpose by the general government of the state or nation. |
 | | In a Republican Form of Government, the “state” then, is the People both individually and collectively, who are the sovereigns, and they, not their public servants, govern themselves using laws that they mutually and individually consent to through their elected representatives. |
 | | This is the de facto government we have today: one that punishes those who expose the fraud and extortion that is the income tax and who also oppose any other type of government tyranny. |
