Its not so simple or direct, for example, internally divided societies- US and Nigeria are good examples, because of the internal divisions on these countries and societies, many "people"/citizens do not really get the "government they deserve", because often the govts/leadership take advantage of the internal divisions in society to corner their control of the national govt. Please dont ignore the legit and relevant reasons why people dont rise up and takeover from their govts, its not to easy, sometimes the reward is lots of death, and its ok that some citizens dont want to risk their lives like that (opposing govt).
