Archbishop

At the very pinnacle of the authority chain, heaven reveals the necessity for government

Rivalry against God from the hands of Lucifer demanded policing and a chief among angels

Contrary to the belief of many, self-government is ideal, but it does not work universally

However, humans will often go beyond the line of necessity with too much government

Barriers, borders, and limitations are one thing; 'Overreach' and 'Bureaucracy' are another

In the New World of the early settlers, they desired a government without bishops and popes.

Similarly, the American style of government was enameled with vital 'Checks and Balances'

Holy men had to be held accountable, and 'the divine right of kings' was simply anathema

Once I heard it said that the governments that govern best are those that govern less

Power in the hands of mere men must always be linked directly to God, the source of all power
