    3. if either I or II is implicit.
    4. if neither I nor II is implicit.
    5. if both I and II are implicit.

Here the assumption is: The method of governance of a country should be according to the ground realities of that country. Hence I is not implicit. II is not implicit because we don't know whether the speaker has other countries in mind.
