Too Much or Too Little

Powers, being given for some certain purpose, should be proportionate to that purpose. It is necessary to give powers, to a certain extent, to any government. If the government is too small, it must moulder and decay, if it's too large, the people must be oppressed.

2. An autocracy, which is also a government by "the one" or a dictator.
