Well, the current government system under the Constitution represented such a voluntary change from the prior government system under the Articles of the Confederation.Well, in the case of the United States the goal of the government is to : "...form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, ensure domesticAC
Tranquility,provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare and secure the Blessings of Liberty..." Constitution of the United States of America, Preamble.How is that incompatible with the notion that governments have this tendency to preserve themselves? Presidents run for re-election, and when the term limit nails them on the head, they try to get their partisan successor in.
The aristocracy is there, whether or not it has landed titles.
