Do People Need to be Governed?

Yes, maybe we are inherently ‘evil’, difficult to control and unpredictable, therefore we need to be ruled and governed to reduce conflicts.

No, we are all inherently good. It is the environment that corrupts us. We don’t need a government if the environment is good. Having a government restricts our freedom.
