All types of government perform all the following functions except

All types of government perform the functions of providing welfare and developmental facilities, maintaining law and order, and encouraging trade with other states to some extent. However, the function of encouraging the struggle for power is not a function of government. In fact, the struggle for power is often a challenge to the government's authority and stability. Therefore, it is not a function that governments actively encourage or promote. Instead, governments aim to maintain stability, order, and continuity, and ensure that power is exercised in a legitimate and democratic manner.
