at the topmost level, the political state exists as a paradox. no group can exist without individuals and individuals won't exist without being part of a group which has at least as much power as any other group. from there we see that a Republic is the best possible form of government because it allows groups to duke it out for control within the government. the inherent problem with all governments is also a paradox - governments are corrupt to the degree they are allowed to operate in secret but it is impossible for a government to not have some level of secrecy.
