every nation gets
the government it deserves
argue, though it fits
“Toute nation a le gouvernement qu’elle mérite” said Joseph de Maistre (1 April 1753 – 26 February 1821) as recorded in the Correspondance diplomatique, tome 2. Paris : Michel Lévy frères libraires éditeurs, 1860, p.196.
And if you wonder why every nation gets the government it deserves, Maistre argued that constitutions are not the product of human reason, but rather come from God, who slowly brings them to maturity.
Or, as Thomas Jefferson put it (and I have quoted this quote far to often but I am going to keep quoting it until it sinks in);
“Indeed I tremble for my country when reflect that God is just:
that his justice cannot sleep for ever:
that considering numbers, nature and natural means only, a revolution of the wheel of fortune, an exchange of situation, is among possible events:
that it may become probable by supernatural interference!
The Almighty has no attribute which can take side with us in such a contest”
