All governments rule by force.  Some are just a little sneakier and you don't realize it.

Government knows best whats good FOR GOVERNMENT, namely keeping us "teaming masses" in check.  Since government not gonna voluntarily give up its power, YOU must choose your areas of freedom. The man can't be everywhere, all the time.

Confucius taught that government should rule through rites and rules in tune with the commoner's natural morality. Therefore, one will refrain from breaking a law because it goes against his conscience to do so; the "punishment" preceeds the crime. Therefore, because these laws enforce themselves without effort, the government will not have to resort to force to keep the peace.\n\nChinese legalism is based upon the assumption that personal morality changes and that one can therefore control the commoners and enforce peace only with outside measures. A law, therefore, must be well-publicized and have a concrete reward or punishment coinciding with whether it is followed or not in fact; the punishment follows the crime. Laws would be supreme in this state, even over the ruler, thereby making all human interaction predicatable and hopefully harmonious.

In theory it is, but in practice, it doesn't work that way. The government has become self-serving. One might argue that the government looks at the bigger picture and therefore can not make decisions based on what the people want. Also, at times, the government only knows what the people with the largest influence and the biggest wallets wants.

It depends.  Some things need to be done but people won't let it happen.  Other things people want but the gov't doesn't do it.

A statute can give authority to a government agency or even a non-governmental entity (see the (UK) Lloyd's Act 1982) to pass regulations having the force of law.\n\nThe most obvious case concerns Internal Revenue Regulations.

Sometimes. Usually each city-state had its own leader.

What's the point in having a law if you don't intend to enforce it?  Of course it can be enforced - it's a matter of getting sufficient resources and having the WILL to enforce it!  Which seems to be sadly lacking ... until election time ...

A STATE CANNOT HAVE ANY LEGITIMATE POWERS UNLESS THEY ARE GIVEN TO IT BY ITS CITIZENS\nIf government officials decide one day that no one should work on Sunday, even assuming the community generally supports their decision, where would they get the authority to use the police power of the state to enforce such a decree? Individual citizens don’t have right to compel their neighbours not to work, so they can’t delegate that right to their government. \nWhere, then, would the state get the authority? The answer is that it would come from itself; it would be self-generated. It would be similar to the divine right of ancient monarchies in which it was assumed that governments represent the power and the will of God – as interpreted by their earthly leaders, of course. \nIn more modern times, most governments don’t even pretend to have God as their authority, they just rely on swat teams and armies, and anyone who objects is eliminated. As that well-known collectivists, Mao Tse-Tung, phrased it: “Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.”

No. But it is the force by which laws can be upheld.
