"政府擴大權力和範圍的傾向",1841年,來自 governmental + -ism; 最初是指法國,可能源自法語。
Besides this, it is a well known fact, one made sufficiently clear by the history of the United States, that the less governmentalism there is in a country, the better it is for the citizens as to their material interests. A very complicated governmental apparatus, when, especially, it is useless, is and can be only hurtful to the interests of the mass of the people. [Amedee H. Simonin, "Resumption of Specie Payments," 1868]
此外,這是一個衆所周知的事實,這一點已經通過美國的歷史得到了充分的證明,即一個國家的 governmentalism 越少,對於公民的物質利益就越好。一個非常複雜的政府機構,特別是當它是無用的時候,只會對大衆的利益造成傷害。[阿梅迪·西蒙尼,《恢復貨幣支付》,1868年]
