"Government" is not necessary for one individual on an island.

If there's one individual stranded on an Island, all by him/her self, s/he would not need the institution of Government. It seems that the need for government arises when the Island gradually becomes more populated. Maybe ,even two individuals would not need Government, but as the number of individuals increases, the need arises. Why? Sadly, because people would not be able to get along, if there was no 'requirement' or 'institution' compelling them to live in a 'condition of togetherness' under Law. Idealism, or Utopianism, or Anarchy, is for daydreamers, they are not functional. Law must enter the picture in the establishment of Government. Of course, Dictatorships don't need Law, because they have 'force'. But, Democracy must have Law. Plutocracy or Oligarchy would also use Law, but it would always favor the established structure of the Government or the Social. Not so, with Democracy. The freedom and equality of each individual in a Democracy is held together by Law. Law is the integument of the Government and the Social in a Democracy. Without Law, no Nation is in a position to protect the Freedom and Equality of the Individual. Its sad to say that People would not know how to survive in any large 'grouping' of individuals. Sooner or later, there would occur the injection of 'personal points of view' into the 'grouping' or the 'condition of togetherness'. That's why Law is necessary to the individual, the government, and the Social. Law regulates the Bottom of Democracy, but it also regulates the Top of Government. Law applies to the One as well as to the Many. In todays world, we not only need Democratic Government, but we also need Law. That's the only way to protect the humanity, dignity and integrity of the human condition.
