What does the word government mean to you?

This was asked in a class I had today, and the professor went on to say that it would mean different things to each and everybody, so I am asking your opinion.

    it depends on the kind of government, for example. I see politicians talk about how great Democracies are and how we should spread Democracy. To me, a Democratic form of government is nothing more than the will of the majority being forced on the minority. In reality, the difference between a Democracy and a Dictatorship is very negligible.

    Thankfully, I'm an American who had founding fathers with enough wisdom not to install a Democratic form of government, but a Constitutional Republic.
