Judgment Of Paragraph 3

It is merely assumed by the public that as ones nation grows the government to control and regulate such a country would simply meet the demands of its growing nation. I felt that the third paragraph was based off of this and even became a truism. This being that as a nation grows so does its government. Even if a topic does not particularly interest a reader the author should attempt to create an interest for the masses. The reason for this is that even if a piece of work contains good writing, if you don't take an immediate interest into a topic you wont be able to look into the work and extract the key information required to understand such a topic. The author then goes on to say things like, "men who worked with him were often reflections of his individual vision." What vision is that? I mean if your not going to explain yourself what is the sense in even saying it in the first place.I feel there was a good thesis but lost steam as it developed and almost comes across that the author ran out of things to say.
