The conflicts that arise when the government is not in step with the people. We measure our government's influence on the people using the political spectrum. Are the people sovereign over their government, or is our government sovereign over us? A government does not stagnate, nor do the people who live within it. Through the course of history, people and their government evolve reflecting the changes in society. Good government needs to be in step with the people as they evolve through time. It is when the government is not in step with the people that tyranny is exposed. The reality is, government typically doesn't follow suit with the people at all. It usually follows the money and power instead. These are not new problems as republics throughout history have experienced much the same thing. Government grabs for more power and take more liberties from their people in their effort to become more centralized. Oddly enough, the people will relinquish this power-giving it to the government.
