>If they mis-manage their resources, the representatives would be liable to a trial.
That doesn't change anything. The point is that it's economically impossible for a monopolist to allocate resources efficiently.
Plus, in the same way that the officials in a monopoly legislature are subject to corruption, so are the judges. They're members of the same organization. The legislators and judges are just going to strike deals and the rulings will almost always go in their favor, if they ever get to trial in the first place (just like now).
>Also, they have no way to force people to pay taxes. ever.
But that's wrong, because one entity has a monopoly power to make and interpret the law. They can re-interpret their founding document to mean things explicitly forbidden by its text, just like they do now.
You can write whatever you want on paper, but it doesn't mean a damn thing if the entity it's supposed to control has a monopoly. That power always leads to abuse.

>You don't pay for the police? They won't protect you or your property if something goes wrong. You don't pay the government?
Why not just have an open market in these services? It's still pay-to-use, but now the consumer has choices. This also eliminates all the monopoly privileges that lead to government corruption.
If you don't like a system of law, you don't pay for it and it leaves you alone. Sure; you don't have to follow any laws, but you aren't protected by any laws either. Nobody prosecutes if you're harmed. You have a strong personal incentive to pay for law, and you get to choose the law that best suits your needs. If your provider passes a law you don't like, you can just switch over to one of many competing providers.
Of course, this isn't really government anymore; it's a market for law.

>They could not make one, because it would be akin to a paid gang.
And a what makes a government not a paid gang? Gangs have central governing bodies.
You're worried that one gang might get the power to overpower everyone else, and so your solution is to create a gang that overpowers everyone else?
>A group of men you could hire to confiscate others' property/ force others without a governing body on the top is extremely dangerous.
It would also be extremely unsustainable in a competing market, since:
1) Everyone has a personal incentive to hire people to protect them, leaving this gang in danger at every possible turn.
2) Picking fights is both risky and expensive, leaving them at a financial disadvantage compared to firms which minimize their use of violence.
3) They would have trouble attracting customers, since most folks think going around stealing people's shit at gunpoint is bad.
4) They would have trouble attracting employees, since most folks have a healthy understanding that picking fights with people is a good way to end up dead.
5) They wouldn't have a massive system of forced payment and indoctrination convincing everyone that without them, society would collapse; everyone can see and regularly has dealings with examples of agencies that don't do that kind of shit.
>The officer could unofficially get involved, but then he could not force the person he saved to pay him anything unless the court says so.
Our monopoly police forces watch people die in the streets and do nothing, because their training (I've actually been there) says their number one priority is their personal safety. The courts even rule that the police have no duty to protect you, and these cops face no punishment. Without such protections for your officers, how else do you attract employees to an otherwise dangerous profession?
Would you pay for that if you had better options?
The United States at its founding was pretty much exactly as you're envisioning your solution; extremely small government, strictly limited powers over small territories, laws and court rulings expressly forbidding violations of rights, nullification of unconstitutional law, personal responsibility for public servants, provisions against forming a standing army, an express prohibition on levying individual taxes, even court rulings enshrining individuals' right to opt out and ignore the system, paying no taxes and obeying no regulations, and much more.
The United States is now the largest police state the World has ever known, imprisoning more people, bombing more countries, turning more rights into licensed and registered privileges, and even taxing people individual even when they've left the country.
Small government begets more freedom, begets prosperity, begets revenue, begets bigger government. The smaller it starts, the larger it gets, and constitutions do nothing to stop this.
