Risks Of Untrustworthiness In The United States

The government should be should be looked to for focus and administration, however for a little our government was feared. “In the new two-level political federation created by the Constitution, the national government would exercise limited, delegated powers, and the existing state governments would retain authority over all other matters” (America 182). The constitution gave guidelines to follow to ensure freedom and justice for all. This is what America is all about, freedom to do anything and justice

Their logic is flawed in that they fail to take into account that the constitution gave the government certain rights that could not be used against the people. As Alexander Hamilton said “It’s not tyranny we desire; it’s just, limited, federal government.” Three paradigms that show the veracity of this perspective are the

Many people do believe there is a reason to trust the government. People don’t think about the wrong decisions the government has made. In the article Thirteen Things the Government is Trying to Keep Secret From You by Bill Quigley, he presents thirteen reasons the government should not be trusted. Quigley shows his examples as to what the government hasn’t been publicly telling the US citizens. People should accept the obvious facts and evidence provided to them.

A government, by definition, is the governing body of a nation, state, or community. Those that work within the government conduct the policy, actions, and affairs of a state, organization, or people. By the United States government is divided into three branches, executive, judicial, and legislative, much every aspect of governing the nation falls under that umbrella. Since the forming of the United States government in 1789, those who govern the country have been held accountable for all actions that go on within the nation. Within this constitutional republic, when the nation faces a crisis of any kind, epidemic, pandemic, or act of terrorism, there is usually a call for government intervention. There’s even governments set up at the state and local level in the form of governors, mayors, local and state law enforcement, etc. Very rarely are all parts of the U.S. national government forced to work hand-in-hand. Yet, on April 15, 2013, a very rare occasion had occurred, an act of foreign terrorism on U.S. soil, the Boston Bombings.

No government is perfect and this is true of the United States. However, the checks and balance

The claim that the Constitution was born of distrust is without a doubt a true statement. As professor Skeptic has said, the framers had many things to not trust, many of which are mentioned in his argument. These worries held by the framers are clearly put into view by the safeguards they put in place to avoid some of them. Among these safeguards are the electoral college, the senate, unelected courts, and the elaborate system of checks and balances that we all know about (Wandrei). As Baron De Montesquieu advised in his writings, the framers engineered a system with branches that not only delivered a balance of power, but that could also check the actions of the other branches. In this elaborate system of checks and balances put on our government

Our founding fathers didn’t always trust the government and that is why they created The Bill Of Rights. In The Bill Of Rights are the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution. It was created to protect the individual's freedoms and prohibitions on governmental power. Amendment one, freedom of religion, speech, the press, and the right of the people to assemble peacefully. You were allowed to “attack” the government in a peaceful way by assembling and if that didn't work, That’s when amendment two comes in clutch. Amendment two, the right of the people to keep and bear arms. When peacefully assembling is not working to change the government, that is when the government is letting use the hard hand. That’s definitely always keeping

The government of the United States controls countless affairs in the world. They control everything from the currency to the court systems. Individuals are suppose to be able to trusting your government system, which has not been the case in many different circumstances. From Richard Nixon to the Whitewater scandal, the government has been everything but honest.

Government was created, and has always been, to enforce law and order. “Governments almost certainly originated with the need to protect people from conflicts and to provide law and order” (Purposes, 2016, par. 2). Without government, the people would fall into disorder and chaos, causing unhappiness and hardship throughout the nation they live in; it would be anarchy. Constitutional governments not only protect citizens from foreign threats, but also domestic threats from within. In America, a citizen’s freedoms extend as far as they want until they infringe upon the rights of another citizen. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are only some of the many rights promised to the American people. These rights are set forth by a well-

I believe that the government keeping secrets from and lying to the citizens is hurting our society like in the brave new world. Our government has been doing our society a discomfort by setting secret meeting and denying public access even though the citizens are the ones who are being directly affected.

The Founding Fathers put their blood, sweat and tears into the making of the Constitution and created a government out of practically nothing, all while having a vision for the future. This future consisted of a government that focused on liberty over security; a government of minimal intervention. To say that the modern version of the United States government is exactly what the Founding Fathers envisioned is a very debatable topic. There are many instances where todays government has followed the Constitution for the most part, but then there are a lot of other areas where the Founders visions have been twisted to the point that they are unrecognizable anymore. To start off, the basic concept of the United States government is one of checks and balances. This was put in place to ensure that the government never became too powerful. One very good example of checks and balances is the media. Even the founding fathers knew the extreme power of the media and its ability to keep the government in check. Two men by the names of William Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer were even able to create the Spanish American War by the process of yellow journalism, or the crude exaggeration of events. The first amendment states that “Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.” The government today reflects this belief that the media is a watchdog or “fourth estate” as it is so often referred to. Political parties and everything that comes with it, including

The government is to be considered the power of the United States. All of its actions are undisputed correct or at least they force Americans to believe that. Many times in history the government was afraid that citizens may spoil their good image and consequently limited their speech. This was seen in the year 1918 as the Alien and Sedition Act was passed. The government was afraid and did not

     Secondly, trusting our government and its leaders is another problem facing American in the 21st century. In “The Circle of Governments” Niccolo Machiavelli states, “As the human race increased, the necessity for uniting themselves for defense made itself felt; the better to attain this object they chose the strongest and most courageous from amongst themselves and placed him at their head promising to obey him.”(230). I take this statement to mean that ever since the beginning of time we have

There are some things that we do that make us seem honorable and some things that we do that make us untrustworthy, but  Fasusto, from the book No-Guitar Blues, does more bad than good. I believe that Fasusto is a untrustworthy pearson, because everything he did admirable would never make up for all the bad he did.

We live in this country for the land, and the for the free as Americans we rely on many attributes in this world in order for us to live our lives. Our government has supplied us with many great things for us to be proud of. Our government is “the institutions and processes though which public policies are made for society.” (Edwards, Wattenberg, and Lineberry, p. 7). With all these institutions which includes the President, Congress, the courts and all the federal administrative agencies. These are the institutions that make up public policies for us, and to shape the way we live as Americans. The way this system has been operating through all the years has been
