A number of political systems have been devised to address the natural conflict between the government and its citizens
Throughout human history a number of political systems have been devised to address the natural conflict between the government and its citizens, among which should be counted constitutional monarchies, systems following natural rights theories or theories of power separation, and systems of ‘checks and balances’, as well as political liberalism or individualism (on its inherent conundrum, see §26.00.05). (On the other hand, political systems of communism/socialism or fascism, or those based on religion, have felt no need to apply any one of these models because they are based on ascribing a purpose to the state, to the government and, thus, also to the people; in a single-purpose state (a unity) no conflict is imaginable—or tolerated.)
