Abstract

Every human society is regulated by a formal or informal set of rules and principles in relationship with one another whether as a group or individuals as well as relationship with and in the government of the society. This creates three layers of interactions in the society, namely: individual(s) to individual(s), individual(s) to government and among the people in government. A system of government becomes imperative for a coordinated and complementary effort guided by a set of rules geared towards efficient and effective functioning of the society. A system of government presupposes the interconnected and complementary principles governing the organisation and operation of the society and its government (Igwe, 2005, p.435). Simply put, it is the set of rules and how they are operated which reflects the dynamics of interaction in the society. The set of rules are predominantly for effective structural and functional political and economic systems in the state. For instance, in a socialist society, the sale of labour (employment of a person to work for an individual employer and earn income) is prohibited because the government owns and controls all means of production and distribution of goods and services.
