Deletion of Scope of government

Comment: This is Wikipedia, not Bartlett's. The subject is definitely article-worthy, but the article itself is a mess. The article limits itself with its use of stock American political terms, with no clarifications or citations to back up the large assumptions it makes. I think the article has to be entirely re-written; I don't see anything worth keeping. Therefore, I concur with all previous -based arguments

Comment: I have doubts that this is a distinct subject from government itself, but in any case the fact that 90% of the article is a quotation calls for  as the only fate for it in its current state. If I deleted the quote, there would be nothing left of it
