Rousseau theorized, distinct forms of government have to do only with the execution of the sovereign laws. He said "democracy is dangerous in application to particular cases, where the general will of government can easily be lost in the pressure of private interests. The aristocracy is acceptable so long as it executes the general will rather than serving the welfare of the ruling elite. A Monarchy clearly raises the temptation to serve private welfare at the expense of the common good. The appropriate form of government for any state depends upon the character of its people and even its physical climate, Rousseau said, A governments success can be measured easily by the extent to which its population thrives.
