What is the best form of government

Ask most people and they will give you different answers about the best form of government.

I had my Uncles father-in-law tell me one time that the communist system was best.

I have heard people proclaim no government at all is best.

 However every society from the most primitive to the most advanced has had government of some sort. Ideally such government would and should protect us from each other. However any government should do more. It should guarantee all it's people (human beings not artificial creations) shelter, education, health care, enough food and the opportunity to contribute to the well being of each other.  That is the minimum that any government should do.  Other things like building bridges, providing refuge to those who flee other governments because of lack of work, education, housing or justice and provide a public forum for all. I invite everyone to comment and add ideas for a better government. Remember the smaller and more open the government the better. Do we need ten thousand laws in order to govern our self?
