There are types of Government: Individual Government (Ethics and Morality), Church (Ecclesiastical) Government, and Civil Government, all three are addressed in the Bible.
Civil Government is given two foundational principles in the Bible: 1) The Law is higher than the government, and righteous persons ought to the positions of authority.
Government is comprised of three actions legislation, administration, and judicature. The first is deciding what actions ought to be done. The second is doing those actions. The third is deciding which actions were right.
In civil government these three branches of the government work like this:
The legislation decides how the government ought to be run internally, how it ought to act toward other nations, how it ought to act toward its own citizens, and towards foreigners, and how its citizens ought to act toward each other. All of these of course only with in the sphere that God has allowed.
The administrative branch sees to it that those policies and laws are carried out and that those who are suspected of breaking the law are brought to trial.
The judicial branch makes sure that the law does not contradict itself and judges between a suspected law breaker and his accusers.
