The 'most effective' way for a ruler to maintain order involves running the country in a satisfactory way. This is obviously a very hard, complicated task, but it pays off when you retire and look back to see that no one has revolted against you. The biggest part of this is insuring that the economy is thriving and solid, supporting all people. You have to be sure that everyone is getting what they are due, because it is possible to have a good economy and some people who are getting the short end of the stick. If everyone is happy and busy (ie. employed) they won't want a change, or won't have time to think about it. There are many, many factors involved in maintaining a healthy economy, so it is critical to not be too proud and get the support you need to govern.
You also must give back to the community, showing you understand what everyone needs. It is important to let everyone have their voice, but give them little to complain about (Or just systematically oppress them. This may actually be the most effective way to maintain order, but I personally feel that it is wrong.) This involves reasonably giving the people what they want.
Mr. Stern, I'm sorry if this is a little goofy. I just really like my ideas.

This is a very well-constructed paragraph. Your ideas are clearly spelled out, and you give good evidence. It is a bit goofy, but that is forgivible bacause it doesn't interfere. The topic sentence was a bit redundent, and didn't really reflect your ideas on the rest of the paragraph. Also, you focus very closly on only a couple of ideas, which can be viewed as good or bad, depending on what Mr. Stern was looking for. I personally would have liked to see a broader focus, including more ideas, but what you did, you did very well. Just work on the topic sentence. Good job!
