In the comments, there is a discussion about the nature of governmental power, including the failure of governments depending solely on the virtuousness of individuals, limitations on government power, and the importance of checks and balances. The conversation also touches on the South Carolina governmental structure, the Westminster government system, and debates about the merits of a free market and government regulation.
