| | Welcome to the Institute for Liberal Values of New Zealand |
| | You see that the gentle hand of Government - that good hand which gives and distributes, will be very busy under the government of the reformers. | | | They expected, more firmly than ever, that Government, under a republican form, would open in grand style the source of benefits and close that of taxation. | | | For, between the Government, which lavishes promises which it is impossible to perform, and the public, which has conceived hopes which can never be realized, two classes of men interpose - the ambitious and the Utopians. |

| | Metropolitan government - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Often, the aversion to another level of government leads municipalities to form coalitionsâ essentially governmental organizations which are not empowered with any lawmaking or law enforcement powers. | | | It could be argued that a truly "metropolitan" form of government would actually involve the entire metropolitan area of a major city, not just the county in which the major city is primarily located. | | | In the United States the term metropolitan government is most frequently used to describe a system of municipal government in which most or all of the functions of a government of a county are combined with those of its principal city. |

| | Presidential system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Most parliamentary governments have a symbolic head of state in the form of a "president" or monarch. | | | Divided government, where the presidency and the legislature are controlled by different parties, is said to restrain the excesses of both parties, and guarantee bipartisan input into legislation. | | | When parliamentary systems have multiple parties and governments depend on coalitions, as they do with nations that vote by proportional representation, extremist parties can theoretically use the threat of leaving the coalition to blackmail the centrist parties who are leading. |

| | Montclair's Form of Municipal Government |
| | There were many discussions over the years about Montclair's form of government and whether it could serve the needs of its population in a more complicated society and with fewer people with the time or interest to serve as a municipal department head. | | | The most significant changes from the Commission form were the employment of a Town Manager to run the municipality under the direction of the Council thereby separating legislative and executive functions, and the addition of four ward councilors along with three at-large councilors to represent all segments of the population. | | | In the Council-Manager Plan, the municipality is governed by an elected council and by an appointed municipal manager. |

| | Though all forms of municipal government may exercise the same basic power structure, there are a variety of different relationships between the legislative (alderman/trustee/councilman) and executive (mayor/president) branches, within these different forms of government. | | | In the council-manager form of government, the council is the governing body of the city elected by the public, and the manager is hired by council to carry out the policies it establishes. | | | The commission form of city government, also known as the Galveston Plan, was devised in Galveston, TX in 1901 and became one of the three basic forms of municipal government in the United States. |

| | Coercive monopoly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | If they can, then the government is simply enforcing property claims when it imposes restrictions on unauthorized copying or use of a technique; if they cannot, then the government is enforcing a coercive monopoly. | | | In a government monopoly, an agency under the direct authority of the government itself holds the monopoly, and monopoly status is sustained by the enforcement of laws or regulations that ban competition, or reserve exclusive control over factors of production for the government. | | | In economics, a coercive monopoly is a form of monopoly in which a firm maintains its status as the sole provider of a good or service by using coercion (either legal or illegal) to prohibit competition. |

| | A free market (or free-trade) economy is an idealized form of a market economy in which buyers and sellers are permitted to carry out transactions based on mutual agreement on price without government intervention in the form of taxes, subsidies, regulation, or government ownership of goods or services. | | | As people who study markets and have a rich understanding of the failings of government intervention in the economy, it seems natural that some economists will aesthetically favor free markets. | | | Free-market economics isn’t so much economics as it is an ideological predisposition for a particular set of social arrangements favoring markets over government. |
