The whole point of any good and legitimate government is for that government to remove forthwith any remnant of the law of the jungle, and therefore to represent in principle, instead, a government which applies its fair laws equally to all; and in particular is structured in a way in which the government therefore is the strong protector of the people's right to fair justice, equality, and opportunity. In other words, good governance is that which is no respecter of persons, but rather is the respecter of the law, fairly and equally applied to all, so that there is no separate favoritism displayed for certain classes or races, nor is their prejudice so displayed against other classes or races, but rather each person stands upon their own merits; of which the law as applied to everyone, is done so in a manner in keeping with that governance, that thereby provides to all the people, the fundamental rights of that Constitution.
So, in form and structure, the very point of why people thereby bond together into one body politic, is so that the weakest and the most vulnerable of that collective people, are thereby provided with the exact same rights, immunities, and privileges that the richest and most powerful are able to avail themselves of. That is to say, the achievements and the position of members of any society are invariably going to differ in ways, large and small, and of which those that are its most vulnerable, and are typically in the weakest of those positions, should therefore still be accorded the same rights that all of its citizens have, so that they are therefore protected from being exploited, abused, and denied that which is unalienable to them.
So then, the measure of good governance, is never exclusively about how the rich and the most powerful are doing with their given achievements, inheritances, and accomplishments; but rather that governance is measured by the efforts so being made in order to benefit and to be of assistance to those that have the least, and are the most exposed to the unanticipated vagaries of life. After all, as one country united, it is important for that country to be able to represent itself as that beacon of liberty, freedom, opportunity, and equality, by demonstrating such in the livelihood and accomplishments of the whole of its population.
This thus signifies, that any country that professes and sentimentalizes its great virtues, but of which, the reality of the situation for its people in whole, demonstrates something diametrically different -- represents therefore a country that is not living up to its own founding documents, no matter how uplifting and inspiring those words are. For how a people live, reflects the reality of the situation, and in those cases, in which, good governance has been seemingly replaced, by a scenario in which the high and mighty rule the roost, and therefore a significant swath of the population, are left with little or nothing, and of which those people are unable to avail themselves upon the very principles of that governance -- is demonstrative that in actuality the law of the jungle, effectively so rules.
