ANARCHY, the lack of Government in a Nation, where no supreme Authority is lodged, either in the Prince or other Rulers; but the People live without order, and all things are in confusion. See GOVERNMENT. The Word is derived from the Greek ἀναρχία, from the prefix ἀν- (an-, without) and ἀρχή (archē, rule, command).
