What is the purpose of government in society?

Is it to benifit the society or to control the mob? Is the business of government social or capital? I ask this in philosophy because it requires a philosophical answer.
What I really am asking, is government there to provide services to it citizens or is it there to force confomity and obedience to authority as a benifit to trade.
