But the question is, in the works of which publicists the protection of a peaceful and reasonable human society prevails: in the profound works of Tocqueville, in the classical work of Gneist, or in the works of Dupont-Vita, the administrative studies of Vivien. Let's say a few words about our look at the internal significance of the moment we are considering in the historical development of domestic regional government. (As far as we have understood the basic principle that governs the development of administration in the 18th column - this principle consists in the military-fiscal government activity of the civil society, which is protected by the Zamfnf: in the legislative chambers of Ne-Y: - ‘tra the beginning of government revenues will prevail; but) the time of Catherine II it is small - by - Nalu is pale before the idea of public improvement.
Having established your own economy. Having strengthened its military strength, the government in the 18th century began to take care of welfare. people. In front of him stood a society about which Catherine M said in a clear word that in it everyone lives only for himself, without thinking about the good of the general - a society that the previous historical course had made incapable of personal improvement, an essential element of self-government (Ze! ouegiten). The only possible way to resolve the new task of the government was administrative guardianship by the only possible administrative body - the bureaucracy.
The bureaucracy, not being subject to the strict control of the government, is always inclined to abuse: its strict subordination to the center is given, therefore, by the urgent needs of society. Thus, from the very nature of the new tasks of the government - striving for social improvement, from the properties of social life, in the midst of which these tasks were resolved - the inability of society to self-govern - flowed the fundamental principles of our administrative system - administrative centralization and guardianship, which developed over the course of the 18th century, imparting a unique structure to the entire system.
Thus, in our thoughts there was such an idea about the development of administration in the 18th century: the government’s desire for social improvement, in the then state of society, was based on administrative guardianship; The administration of all local interests was concentrated in the provincial chancellery; the governor became the guardian of the inhabitants, the master of the provinces entrusted to him.
The provincial chancellery submitted to the strict control of the central government - it carried out the decrees of the Senate and the instructions of the collegiums.
