the basic dilemma is that old saw - power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

as long as the people are kept at arms length from the decisions being made on their behalf, there will be those who take advantage of that distance to enrich themselves and their pet causes. when government gets too big for the population to keep an eye on it, the possibilities for corruption are too numerous to control. only by placing more of the authority into smaller, more localized bodies can the people regain control over the criminals who naturally gravitate to positions of power.
