Government And Its Effect On The Good Of A Country

Every government in the world has basic functions that they provide for their citizens. “The preamble, to the constitution, alludes to two basic kinds of services that cannot easily be accomplished without government, and their provision accounts for two functions of every government of the world.” (Maltese 11) The two functions are providing and maintaining order and safety, and providing public goods, such as national defense. Governments can also provide any functions that they see fit to help promote the general welfare of their citizens. These government functions are designed to keep countries from becoming too chaotic, while still not completely controlling the people. While these are the main functions that governments perform they can do many other things, and often once a government is in place, the people will want to be provided with other services. However there are also people who believe

Each type of government holds different views as to the role the leaders and citizens should perform in their country .Different types of government include, oligarchy where the government is run by the best leaders, Tyranny, where they believe those in power should have complete control over its people. In the United States of America, we believe in democracy, rule by the majority. The main problem with our type of government is maintaining it. Our government and its citizens have lost sight of their roles and responsibilities, in government.

The Framers of the United States Constitution ultimately decided to give more power to the Federal government rather than the state governments for many reasons. There were many problems with the articles that caused instability in the government, and even a rebellion. Then there’s the Federal government who lacked powers to do anything much because the people were too scared to make the Federal government strong. Lastly, there was the State government who had either too much power or they had power that the Federal government should have. There were a lot of problems with the Articles that needed to be addressed , most of which were addressed.

As the most widely adopted form of democratic government there are many strengths associated with a parliamentary government. The parliamentary system is often praised for the fast and efficient way in which it is able to pass legislation. The reason this is possible is because unlike a presidential system the legislative and executive power in a parliamentary system are merged together. Due to this fusion of power legislation does not have to undergo a lengthy process and therefore laws can be formulated and put into place much quicker(Bates, 1986: 114-5). Another advantage of a parliamentary system is that the majority of the power is not held by one individual head of state but rather is more evenly divided among a single party or coalition. One of the main benefits of this is that as there is more of a division of power a parliamentary government is less prone to authoritarianism than a presidential system. Juan Linz argues that a presidential system is more dangerous due to the fact that; “Winners and losers are sharply defined for the entire period of the presidential mandate”(Linz, 1990: 56), this sharp line between winners and losers increases tension between these two groups and allows the winner to isolate themselves from other political parties (Linz, 1990: 56). Due to this tension and isolation a presidential system is at a higher risk of turning into an authoritarian regime than a parliamentary system.

Every country differs in their preference of political system to govern their countries. For democratic countries, two possible choices of governing are the presidential system and the parliamentary system. Since both the presidential and the parliamentary systems have their own strengths and weaknesses, many scholars have examined these two forms of government, and debate on which political system is more successful in governance. In this paper, I will first provide a detailed analysis of both the parliamentary and the presidential system. I will also evaluate each system’s strengths and weaknesses, addressing any differences as well as any commonalities. Finally, I will conclude by using historical examples to analyze and support the

Throughout the history of the American government, there have been changes that have ultimately influenced the way our society runs. From the rapid growth of the thirteen colonies to today’s 21 century political and legal systems, the development of the American government has grown substantially from the creation of the Continental Congress to the what is now known as the United States Supreme Court. The origins of the American government traces all the way back to the struggle between the developing colonies and England. During the development of the United States of America, there arose many issues that resulted in violent outbreaks caused by the overrated demands from the government against their people. The hatred toward the government took the form of the Revolutionary War, and its success against England gave the American people the opportunity to provide a legal way to their ideas as expressed in the Declaration of Independence.

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.

We as the people should maintain the most crucial political power within our designated states. Let’s not allow one entity to govern all of us, when those representatives do not know what each state and those who live in it need. Our focus must remain on us. A strong National Government under the Constitution would give them too much power.

Section 1 (a) the executive branch may veto legislation and may call special sessions of congress the legislative may override a president’s veto, may impeach the president, approves appointment 's of judges and approves treaties (b) the framers intentions were to keep any branch of government from having too much power and the checks and balances make their intentions possible. 2. 1. (a) Article I section 1 declares: “all legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a congress of the united states....” thus, congress is the lawmaking branch of the national government. Article II, section 1 declares: “the executive power shall be vested in a president of the united states of America.” thus, the president is given the law-executing, law enforcing, and law-administering powers of the national government. Article III, section 1 declares: “the judicial power of the united states shall be vested in one supreme court, and in such inferior courts as the congress may from time to time ordain and establish,” thus, the federal court 's, and most importantly the supreme court, interpret and apply the laws of the united states in cases brought before them. Remember, the framers intended to create a stronger central government for the united states. Yet they also intended to limit the powers of that government. The doc-trine of separation of powers was designed to establish just that.(b) it basically means that the law must be obeyed no matter what and no one is immune to the law

Government impacted the lives of U.S. citizens both negatively and positively. Some issues were addressed by tax reform, giving women the right to vote and industrial regulation which included minimum wage. In the midst of reform there was still some level of greed and corruption. On the flip side, blacks were met with Jim Crow laws which were designed to keep African Americans separated. Everyone was not accepting of diversity and Supreme Court upheld segregation in schools and public facilities. This growing government was a combination of good and bad. Opposing forces that makes it difficult to genuinely serve the American people collectively.

It is so easy to go through daily life and just ignore how much the government affects the lives of so many people. It was really difficult to make a decision to focus on the ways the Government affects my life for a day. Life can become a routine and once I stopped to focus on the importance of Government I noticed how much it was imbedded in my life. I decided to take a class at the Palm Beach State Boca Campus for the summer. Living in Lake Worth it is a pretty long commute and deals with a bunch of traffic.

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.

Government policy can be described as the declaration that defines the objective of the priorities and goals of the government. Since these policies outline the rules, role, and procedures, they develop a framework in which the government and its citizens can carry out their specific duties. The public policies are created by all governmental levels and target the entire population or particular groups. The process of developing these policies involves the engagement of governmental officials and citizens. On the other hand, politics of government provide the platform for the development, establishment, and implementation of public policy. Therefore, the politics of government are the platform with which public policies are adopted and implemented.

Moreover, instating the right to choose also facilitates the incentive for people to speak out against an unruly leader. When a large mass of civilians disagrees or is concerned with a party’s implementation of policies, they can extract their title from them. Just because a party is elected, does not mean that they will remain in power for the entire duration originally allotted to them. The presence of foreseeable change is crucial to a societies degree of satisfaction associated with their current governmental system. Alteration gives democracy the upper hand. For example, in Spain in 1982, when Prime Minister Leopolodo Calvo Sotelo completely terminated the party that supported what the people wanted, the people in office forcibly made him resign.

According to World Bank, government effectiveness is referring to captures perceptions of the quality of public services, the quality of the civil service and the degree of its independence from political pressures, the quality of policy formulation and implementation, and the credibility of the government's commitment to such policies. This is important for foreign investors because they do not wish to pay for the deficiencies in the provision of public goods by government.
