If men were angels no government would be necessary what does that mean?
The holy angels of God are perfect. They don't do anything wrong. So what the quote means is that if we were all angels, there would be no crime, and therefore no need for government, we'd all do just exactly what we should do. We would not need a government to rule us, because we'd be doing what we should without anyone human telling us what to do and not to do. The implication, in this answer is correct, as far as it goes. However, the initial premise, made by Madison, in the Federalist Papers #51, and stated in the above answer, is wrong. Angels, as originally created by GOD, were not perfect, not incapable of wrongdoing. Lucifer, was the highest angel, yet he committed (still committs) the highest sin. He attempted(s) to make himself equal with GOD. Angels were obviously given free will, to make choices, just as mankind, who the Bible states, is a "little lower than the angels." Hence, angels would not govern any better than man, as evidenced by the evil that came into the world, through Lucifer's choice, and the angels who followed him.
