Lateral growth in trees frequently begins later than growth in height, but the period of lateral growth is longer. Rates of lateral growth likewise are low at the outset, increasing after a few weeks and then diminishing. In view of the long annual period of lateral growth in trees, deleterious environmental conditions may exercise a pronounced effect on growth. In the wood of trees of temperate regions, narrow and wide growth rings may be observed, marking years characterized by unfavorable and favorable conditions for growth.
The growth of government merely parallels the growth of society from the family or household unit to a more complex and interrelated entity. So much, at least, seems clear from the opening chapters of Aristotle's Politics. The American political leader John C. Calhoun,itself, indicates a turn of thinking in the course of human history of growth, for the leading Greek philosophers, Plato and Aristotle among them, were preoccupied with the question: What is the best form of government?
