Interesting you assess many of the same problems I do with American government but we come to different ultimate conclusions.
Taking as an example lack of trust in government. A government from tradition generally has high levels of trust. Things like public safety and gun control, a traditional government would handle fairly easily. A traditional sovereign and his ministers have an innate responsibility for the welfare of the people. They are not beholden to winning elections or running political concerns like in America. They would look at these massive school shootings and rampant gun criminality and simply say “this is not acceptable, we are banning guns” and the populace in a traditional society understand they owe fealty and obedience to their government. They would have obedience ingrained in them.
The issue of socialism, too. In a traditional government we do not have to justify via law to provide for people. We can simply say–people cannot be allowed to starve or die due to lack of doctors care, we mandate these things be provided. The taxes raised are thus not in dispute.
