"that government is best which governs least" ... hmm.

What first of all, what does this quote really mean? Well, we can definately tell that the Thoreau meant that a governments are best when they either govern smaller lands or get less involved. I agree with Thoreau because smaller land and smaller governing means less problems and a better society and governing. It is better than having a government governing big land and not being able to carry the responsibility and take care of it. So by that, the smaller the land and the less involved a government gets, the better the government and the better the society.
