Global Secular Government
I think that a global secular government would be a mistake. “We know that power tends to corrupt, so a government that disperses power is better than one that gathers power into the hands of a few.” As much as everyone talks about how good a global government would be, it is practically impossible. There is a no way that everyone will agree on the type of government that it should be and there is always the chance for creating a dictatorship. It is bad enough when there is a dictator of a country. Now apply that to a global government. That one man, or select few, would rule the world. Even the best and strongest governments struggle to care for and protect a small portion of the world? No one but God could do that. And I highly doubt that all the people of the world would consent to being ruled by God. As I mentioned before, you are very right in worrying about a global government becoming tyrannical. That is exactly what would happen. As soon as one person reached power there is no way to take him down other than rebelling. In other words, a different country cannot send troops to help the poor citizens living under the dictator. That man would control everything. If there were to be a single secular government there would be nothing protecting your individual rights. The state would determine your rights and could change them to oppress certain people and liberate others.
