"that government is best which governs least"

You can get many thoughts about what Thoreau meant by his quote. I think he meant that government that is more in contact with its people can become a great county with most of the people are supporting the government. I disagree with this quote because in order to run a stable country the government should let the people decide something but also should let some information away from the people so that if something unexpected were to happen the people won't go into panic and the government would handle the situation.
