Jay -

...Given the hostile environment the early settlers found themselves in, cooperation was crucial to survival, and thus rule by feudal dictatorship was out of the question and out of smarts of the then politicians. There were too many guns all around. Democracy was a necessity....

My take would have been that government itself was optional, natural selection a daily reality, and central government merely a distant source of humor.

Regards, Don
