"That government is best which governs least"

The quote stated by Thoreau when he said, "that government is best which governs least" means that if the government lets the citizens have a voice and a say in what occurs  more often rather than the government just making all of the decisions on their own, we would have a prosperous government. I agree with this quote to a certain extent because then the government will have a better say on what the people want and we would have more freedom and say on what goes on in the world and they will not govern every aspect of our lives. I also disagree because some people may take advantage of this and create many problems which will affect the lives of others. I believe the government and the citizens should have an equal amount of say on what goes on in the world.
