There usually no any uniform in answers, some say it should be “the government”, some say “the governments” or “a government”, or they are all legit?

When you say "a government" it can be any government, (ex: A government should not be corrupted"). When you say "the government" you are talking about one specific government (ex:The government abolished slavery). And for the others, "the governments" is the plural form of "the government", and "governments" is the plural form of "a government".
