If by "governed" you mean that we have to abide by a set of laws, I would agree. Here's the definition.
Quote
governed (past tense) · governed (past participle)
1.conduct the policy, actions, and affairs of (a state, organization, or people):
"he was incapable of governing the country" ·
synonyms: rule · preside over · reign over · control · be in charge of · command ·
•control, influence, or regulate (a person, action, or course of events):
"the future of Jamaica will be governed by geography, not history"
synonyms: determine · decide · control · regulate · direct · rule · dictate ·
I am probably over reacting, but when I hear "governed", I want to go clean my AR.
