Abstract	Contrast of the Baha'i administrative order with the 2 dominant types of liberal democracy, namely responsible government and separation of powers, as potential models for government in the current world. Each system is analyzed as to how it serves society's well-being through its theory of representation, how the abuse of power is prevented in the decision-making process, how election processes function, and what the potentials of each system are at the global level. Liberal democratic conceptions, including the assumption that society's well-being is best administered by addressing the needs and inputs of the individuals comprising it, are the adopted standard of comparison.
