The government is made out of people who are supposed to know and be representatives of the people they lead.
Which means, the government is supposed to lead the people, or better, the people they lead into a more prosperous future. It also is supposed to watch over made agreements, uphold order and protect the people. What is order you may ask, order is the opposite of anarchism. Although the government is not supposed to interfere into every little detail of the life of the people, instead it is supposed to keep agreements, prosecute criminals, protect the people and do everything possible to ensure the best possible present and future.

Same as having Religion. It keeps people from being a dickhead, and makes them do a double-take on cruel actions. Stuff like the "Golden Rule" in the Bible.

because other people arent like you. when given the job of policing their own actions, they become like black people. someone on the outside has to hold them accountable or theyll kill you for your shoes.
