There is no such thing as ideal government. Give me an ideal culture and I won't need to care very much about the form of the government.
That said in general I would prefer a minimalist Constitutional Republic with a heavy degree of Federalism whereby the national government didn't do too much but run the military, act as a coordinator between the states, and offer advisory services to the people.
I would literally have written into the Constitution that the Federal Government cannot create any criminal sanction or direct regulatory burden on any individual without a Constitutional amendment.
