My opinion is that government, whatever its implementation, exists primarily as a means to restrict power. Why? Because given free reign, human beings generally like to use power to beat each other upside the head with. Wisdom in government is addressing the underlying issue: human nature. In that, you may be on the right track, I think. Understanding people is the first step in understanding how to govern them.
