Advantages Of Decentralization Of Government

Many politicians argue that there is a need for institutional reform in the United States—the sole purpose of such reform should be to develop a more efficient system for the state as a whole. However, others argue that there are existing institutions in the United States that are structured efficiently. In order to help determine where an individual will stand on the debate about institutional reform, one must compare the effects of different forms of political institutions with the existing form in the United States. There are three new proposals of reform to discuss for the United States: 1) change in the electoral system for the House of Representatives, 2) change in the executive structure

Divided government is a term used in the United States to describe the situation of one party ruling the presidency and the other party ruling Congress. Divided government occurs due to the executive branch and the legislative branch being voted separately. Two factors that increase the odds of a divided government are independent voters and split ballots. All this leads to the public resenting the bickering and little accomplished.

Federalism is a fervently debated idea in which two parties, the Federalists, and the Anti-Federalists, argue whether or not the Constitution should be ratified. The main writers of the Federalists Papers include three Founding Fathers by the names of James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Jay. The Federalists wrote of the need for a strong central government and a constitution, however, the Anti-Federalists sought for a guarantee of freedom with a Bill of Rights. The Constitution required a Bill of Rights in order to limit the large authoritative power of central government and to protect the voice of the common man from oppression. Federalist Paper Number 84, written, by Alexander Hamilton, focused on the concept of a Constitution and the containment of a Bill

“A government big enough to give you everything you want, is big enough to take away everything you have” says Thomas Jefferson on the size of government and the power that government could have. This stance is one of the anti-federalist and will argued for in this paper. Small government is superior because it protects individual interest, insures the sovereignty of the states, and is keeps the natural right of man, being life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, intact.

In the 19th century American’s were overjoyed when they gain their independence from Great Britain in 1776 and soon established a government under The Articles of Confederation. However, The Articles of Confederation were unstable and provided America with a weak central government, because of the lack authority needed to sustain a nation. Yet, many Americans opposed the idea of having a strong central government, because they feared America would shift into a dictatorship. While others felt that a strong government would sufficiently help the nation run as one. “The constitution of 1787 created a “federal’ system of dispersed and divided authority- authority divided between national and state governments, authority divided among executive,

In late eighteenth-century America, the ideal form of government was widely contested. When the American colonies were under British rule, they were subject to the almost-tyrannical British government, in which they were not fully represented. After the colonies achieved independence, two main political factions emerged: the Republicans and the Federalists. The Republicans, scarred by the overbearing British government, advocated for a weak federal government with individual state governments, which prevented the concentration of power in a single party and promoted a form of more direct representation. However, this system proved to be ineffective, for the federal government’s lack of power was dangerous and inefficient. The Federalists, on the other hand, supported a strong federal government. Cognizant of the negative implications of local state governments, the Federalists published a series of essays during 1787 and 1788 that supported the stronger national government that resulted from the Constitutional Convention. In “Federalist no. 51”, James Madison, a key component of the Federalist movement, described the role of government and its relationship with the people. He wrote,

Anti-Federalists argue that “the number of the representatives (being only one for every 30,000 inhabitants) appears too few.” They are concerned that the number of representatives is inadequate to communicate the requests of the people and will be unable to prevent corruption. Yet, in reality, having a large republic will be more beneficial because with a larger population, there will be a larger pool to choose representatives from. As a result, more able and qualified representatives will be chosen. In addition, the “vicious arts” of corruption will be curbed in a large republic with three branches because there will be more officials to bribe and more risks to take, which will increase the chances of the corrupt being caught and prosecuted. Additionally, with a large republic, one representative for 30,000 people will be adequate enough to root out trivial and pointless claims so that the real needs of the people will be met in a timelier

The majoritarian model is currently being used in Canadas political economy, however, Canada’s would be better off with a shift to the consensus model as it included all minority groups and represented the true meaning of democracy. The consensus model represented the people in a society by including minority groups, using a federal or decentralized government and a multi-party system. The consensus model ensured the inclusion of groups in plural societies, where this was absent under a majoritarian ruling. A majoritarian model of government only made decisions in the hands of a select few, whereas, in a consensus model the power was divided in a federal or decentralized government. Finally, a consensus model allowed for multiple parties to run for election under the multiparty system and voting was done under proportional representation. However, in a majoritarian government, there are two parties running for office which operated under a disproportional election.

When the expectation is to level up, not down, often any chance of savings is eliminated and may even include hiring additional supervisors, support staff or specialized positions (L.G.C, pg. 153). This addition of staff may also take place due to a loss of volunteer positions within smaller municipalities, which may impact the community connectivity to municipal programs or events. Norris, Pharres and Zimmerman’s Ontario study suggest that within a regional government system, the larger the municipality, the higher per capita expenditures (L.G.C, pg. 154). Local government service and program are often dictated by

Lawmaker, Braulio Guerra, climbed the border between the United States and Mexico to send a message to President Donald Trump . He says that the fence that’s there now is 20 feet high and is easy to climb, so he could easily get into the United States. It’s going to take l 15 million dollars just to build the wall between the U.S. and Mexico. President Trump said he would make the Mexican government pay for it, which they refused. Braulio Guerra message is that the wall is unnecessary and is a waste of money .

Limited government preserves individual liberties and it protects certain freedom and rights. It helps citizens, have a freedom of speech as well as have a freedom of where to live. Helps government from interfering from civil rights. It gives citizens more control over their lives. That means it protects their property.

Although the power has shifted back and forth from stronger decentralized government to a dominant centralized government, the balance between the two has yet to fall completely. Thanks to the limitations the Founders installed into our Constitution, there has yet a time where the states or national government has the total power to control the nation as a whole. We call this type of government system as the federal system. In a federal system, there are different but separate levels of government who has their own powers. Furthermore, in order to ensure that the centralized government is not oppressing the states there are also limitations on certain national powers (McDaniel and Shaw, 2014). However, through the various Supreme Court

The advantages of having a federal government are a stronger relationship between the people and leaders , Guarantees a separation of powers , and the people have a voice and leaders listen to what they have to say. The disadvantages are an envy of power from the people , states may not be equal, meaning one state might have different policies than another. Lastly the leaders may pass policies not favored by the state.

Indonesia complained of their lack of autonomy In regions such as Maluku or other areas of Eastern Indonesia, “a low capacity for generating local revenue restricted the ability to adapt projects and development to local conditions” (Bertrand, 198).). The scanty amounts of funds were unable to support the poor and other problems. Bertrand states, “Faced with the New Order regime introduced mild reforms that were designed to address some technical issues while avoiding political decentralization” (Bertrand, 198). In 1995 the Minister of Home Affairs selected 26 districts were used to evaluate the measures designed to increase autonomy. They noticed an increase in Indonesia budget, but they still failed to support the poor, which resulted in
