Government relations is defined as the process of influencing public policy at all levels of governance: local, regional, national, and even global. Government relations aims to persuade government officials to change or maintain policy to more effectively fit the needs of a particular group.
This relationship between the government and the individual would certainly be reciprocal. The citizens of an ideal state would take advantage of the rights and freedoms guaranteed to them by the government, but would also be willing to accept their share of responsibility.
