Compare And Contrast United States Government Vs Totalitarian Government

Did you know that the USA and Finland are both free countries? It’s cool to think that there are other free countries other than the USA. Finland has similar freedoms in the United States: Finnish citizens can own firearms legally, and both men and women can join the Finnish military. The United States has a list of freedoms called the Bill of Rights. The United States has laws against many drugs. I think that the United States has the best government because the United States has 13 Amendments that our country stands by, and no one is allowed to change them which provides a safe country.

Comparing the U.S. governments ability to meet the needs of its citizens compared to that of a dictatorship is far superior. A dictatorship is designed to benefit one or few individuals that have achieved power using capital or force. Their only concern is for themselves and what will increase their power. The U.S. form of government is restricted to the power of the constitution.

In the 20th century totalitarian governments had come to power in Italy, Germany, and the Soviet Union. These governments had forced their political authority and centralized control over all aspects of life (Document 3 and 6). The government had imposed public gatherings to invade people’s lives and indoctrination of totalitarian ideas had influenced youth organizations and literature to help the government gain authority over one’s country (Document 2). One method used by totalitarian dictatorship is having mass rallies and speeches. The totalitarian government that used these method leaders was Benito Mussolini of Italy and Adolf Hitler of Germany.

In the United States, citizens have the freedom to speak their mind whether they are speaking about minimum wage, poor working conditions or government policies. Americans have the freedom to choose where they want to live, what kinds of jobs they want to work and have the option to travel across the world without restrictions. U.S citizens have the ability to have whatever kind of religious beliefs they want and can choose whether or not to attend church. The American system was superior because it allowed citizens to choose their own path in life without having to follow the masses. Not only that but the economic system was "booming" in the United States faster than the Soviet Unions.

The American democracy is one of the most peaceful kinds of government in the world although it is a long way from utopia. The democracy in which we live has many strengths and weaknesses. Neither strengths or weaknesses out weigh one another, but it is necessary to have both due to the varying definitions. A democracy is a government that is run by the people. The politicians that we elect to run our government are human and they are susceptible to mistakes based on their own strengths and weaknesses. The strengths and weaknesses they possess are reflected into our government but at least “we the people” elect them and they are not chosen for us.

America is one of the few Countries that has the best form of constitution and democracy.

The United States government has fulfilled the American democracy however, there has been major fulfilments that have not been completed. The start to our democracy begin with our Enlightenment ideas which influenced our founding fathers. These ideas dealt with Natural Rights, Social Contract, and Revolution. The Natural Rights idea comes from a famous philosopher named John Locke. He basically states that every human has certain rights that are not given to them by the government and those rights that aren 't mentioned are called Natural Rights. This idea was put into effect with the 9th Amendment, this Amendment means there are other rights that may exist aside from the ones directly mentioned in the constitution, and even though they are not mention it doesn 't mean that they cannot be violated.

Furthermore, the majority of Americans feel the system laid out by the constitution does sufficiently protect their rights sufficiently. Although the constitution does have its flaws (for example it does not even explicitly mention the rights of the people to vote) it does perpetuate a system that protects the rights of the citizens based on prevailing public opinion – which is more democratic than an outlining of eternal liberties. The fact that the constitution outlines the separation of powers (to the executive, legislature and judiciary) ensures no one body can amass too much power and exploit the rights of the people. Dare I say it but even the Second Amendment – the Right to Bear Arms, allows the people to protect themselves from a tyrannical government and thus protect their rights from central government and other potential oppressors. The use of an impartial judiciary with

Throughout history, there have been many systems of government that have been created, and have revolutionised todays modern forms of government. Democracy, Monarchy, Dictatorship, Theocracy, and Anarchy all use various, unique techniques on how to run a civilization. Each of them require different leadership traits in order for it to work properly.

The United States is known for its many liberties to all, liberties that lead to all sorts of bad according to Socrates and Aristotle. Plato-Socrates in The Republic and Aristotle in Politics criticize democracy, a form of government that tries to equalize all. Centuries have passed and many of the democratic elements described in their works apply to current democratic regimes in particular the United States.

The United States government needs a strong base and a government that will protect its people. The people will not survive if there are not officials. Anti-federalists wanted each state to have its own local government which in turn makes the states less unified. If each state has different laws and there is no centralized government than there is no similarity between the states other than being on the same continent. The states have to remain united and have a strong central government so that all Americans have the same rights and laws that they are governed by.

Imagine living in a world of complete rejection of liberal ideas and absolute conformity. Citizens of this world do not have the freedom to choose their occupation. In fact, these citizens have no rights. They cannot speak freely, they do not enjoy any personal freedoms or privacy, and the media is aggressively censored. This is the world of George Orwell’s 1984 and Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451. The protagonist of Fahrenheit 451 is Guy Montag, and he is a fireman. His job is to destroy books completely by setting fire to them. Winston Smith is the main character in 1984, where he works as a civil servant in the lower class ruling party. Both of these men become entranced with the past and how life was before a totalitarian government.

In the past, we have witnessed occasions where these is more lost than gained. For example, we have fought for our rights, and now due to war, we are losing them. The government forces rules and regulations not found in the Constitution. Another example is the government forcing healthcare upon the citizens. If one does not purchase healthcare, the government issues a fine. We are told we are given choice, but nothing could be further from the truth. The government has access to its citizens personal information no matter what we think they do not know. The U.S.

A government is a legal system that controls its citizens or community within a certain geographical area. Moreover, forms of governments can vary and range from a monarchy to a democracy. Whichever form of government a country chooses to utilize, may be based on the country’s history and view of law. Some countries have similar views and some countries have different views. This is because the various countries view the purpose and function of law in a different context, mainly different from the purpose and function of law that emerged in the west (Terrill, 2016). One form of government in particular that illustrates this is the Islamic law. Many countries in the east have and still are utilizing this form of government because they want to establish a theocratic society, where priests rule the land in the name of a God (Terrill, 2016). When compared to the United States form of government, I find the countries that use the Islamic law form of government to be the most contradictory because of what each

Albeit totalitarian administrations have existed in different countries including North Korea, and Iraq, they started in Europe and were portrayed by pioneers with solid identities, for example, Hitler in Nazi Germany and Stalin in the Soviet Union. A democracy is a form of government in which the leaders are chosen by the citizens’ votes, and in which the people have a say in decisions about the state’s affairs. The primary characteristics of democracy include political freedom, rule of law, and legal equality. The Brahman caste in India, the Spartiates in Sparta are various historical examples of the social aristocracy or nobility. The country Russia has been marked an oligarchy in light of the fact that, after the fall of Communism, political
