That's a fascinating treatise.
It also paints Charles in quite a good light. I assume that she wrote to please, but it also sounds like he was a genuinely good king.
I have heard that the best form of government is an absolute monarchy, and the worst form of government is an absolute monarchy.
- baxtr 1y agoRe your last paragraph: can’t this be said about any form of government since there will be any kind of variation independent of form?
- taneq 1y agoNo. The best form of government is never a committee, but the worst form is seldom a committee.

Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time...." - Winston S. Churchill, 11 November 1947
