Even if the government had checks and balances that you deemed to be satisfactory it would still be a 2 class system. The government would still have the power to create laws and taxes while using the police and army to enforce them.
Besides no matter how good we may think the limitations on a government are they can still be exploited. For example: The United States Constitution is a very good document considering the time it was written in. It grants American citizens many vital freedoms that can be enjoyed and exercised at will. However wealthy transnational business interests have pretty much hijacked the American government which the founding fathers couldn't have predicted over 300 years ago.
