Except when the government effectively becomes, collectively, the king, and represents nothing more than their royal self-interest. Which is how I see things going in the USA, for all intents and purposes.

Government is always the king. That's their job. And, in a Democracy, the self-interest of government is the public's interests.

  Minor point, in a well functioning Democracy the self interest is the people. I don't think we have that right now.
