It is indeed a complicated issue.
I remember though one way to look at it - the power of government vs. power of people.
It is like a graph with a line from the bottom left to the top right. The power of the people is towards the bottom, the power of the government to the top. As the power of the government increases, the point on the line goes up towards government, which decreases the power of the people.
But in the end, the thing is, once the government recieves more power, it will never relinquish it.
