The modern English word Government is a compound formed from the Ancient Greek κυβερνάω and Latin -mente, ablative singular of mēns (“mind”).

...but the English word is far newer than the concept, so no. Government does not mean mind control in Latin.

Stop doing drugs and pay more attention in school, kids.

It's "at school", kid. You should have paid more attention during English lessons/lectures.

Either way is acceptable.

Maybe you should consider being an internet teacher on another forum.

Maybe I'm reading too deeply, but it's interesting how time and time again people resort to the Romans in one form or another to prove their arguments or justify their causes. "America is collapsing because Rome did"; the various Medieval states trying to establish a claim to empire, trying to succeed Rome; Russia's Third Rome in Moscow; Mehmed II calling himself Kayser-i-Rum. Appeals to Latin or pseudo-Latin semantics to prove points in everyday speech.
