This document discusses governments and asks several questions about their origins, functions, and forms. It suggests that governments are represented by images of juries and men debating decisions, as these illustrate how governments involve groups making collective choices and judgments on behalf of societies. The questions probe how and why governments were established, where they first emerged, what roles they play, how their decision-making processes work, and whether some are better than others.
