Public Policy Dictionary Government
It is the
"common cold" that everyone dreads. The American Heritage College
Dictionary, Third Edition defines government as, "The exercise of authority in
a political unit in order to control and administer public policy." Webster's
Desk Dictionary of the English Language defines government as, "The political
direction and control exercised over a nation, state, community, etc." The
common individual might define government as the root of all evil. The thing
about government is that no one stops to think about how government came
about.
