What I Have Learned in the Course
My family immigrated to the United States three years ago so that the government of America I do not know much. However, I took Government course to have good knowledge in the United Sates this semester. Moreover, I have learned a lot of important things about government course, but today I will discuss the five most things I have learned this course. First, I can consider the beginning and growth of constitutional democracy in the United States. People consider the government admitting ownership policies and the rights such as freedom, fairly, vote. Second, I can learn the information of the federal system. Everyone thinks that they have power, so they can control anything in life. Indeed, the leader has good policies to separate these systems of the government like between the state government and the local government. Third, the government also has good policies to improve the country rich and strong. There are many different positions establishing with a special role in society such as public judgment, interest groups, and political partied in the political system. Fourth, I can see that the government tries to protect people’s freedom and autonomy. People must follow the government’s rule; they can ensure the rights of government. Also, they can have good benefits in life. Last, there are many parts in the policies; every part has extensive knowledge to hold their position. The public policies in the United States bring a lot of
The words spoken by man have the power to shape and ratify everything in its path. These following questions will do just that. Is not the strengthening of our federal government essential to the maintaining of a stable bureaucracy? Must we forego the strong fundamental structure that will ensure that every man will benefit immensely from a nation governed by those of the utmost intelligence and experience? We as a nation must procure a stance that will enforce and implement the necessary laws by any means possible. This can only be obtained only if all parties are on one accord with an understanding that the rights of the people and their protection are our governments’ only concern. The strong structure of a government can only
Governments were created as a way to oversee groups of people and to serve as a source of protection from threatening forces. However, all governments are not the same as there are various categories of administration. These include democracy, theocracy, communism, republic, dictatorship, monarchy, and fascism. The two types of government that will be discussed in this research paper are a republic and a communist style of governing. As these are two very opposite branches of ruling, the similarities between them will be few and far between. The differences will range from education, religion, and economics with extreme variations in each category.
The problem with our government is that it is not as influential and informative as it should be. For the reasons that our President will not share anything about what is really going on in the world. When we are not told what is going on we feel like our personal decisions don’t have any effect on what the world or anyone will become of. Also when we think like this we also question our worth for example, if we have no worth, rights, or opinion then what is the point of anything. The point of anything is everything because we cannot function without everybody’s intake on what they perceive us and the world as, not only mentally
The structure of our American Government was founded in the Constitution of the United States. The Constitution was written to be the “supreme law of the land,” and produces a democratic republic, where citizens govern themselves (Our American Government, n.d). The purpose of our government, is to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessing of liberty to ourselves and our posterity” (Our American Government, n.d.). For our country to accomplish this purpose our Founding Fathers created three principles, “inherent rights, self-government, and separation of powers” (Our American Government, n.d.). The government was developed to ensure order in society and protect its citizens, but with all systems, there is strengths and weakness, let’s examine those strengths and weakness. Let’s first look at the strength and weakness of the U.S. Constitution.
My rights as a citizen that I have are to be treated equal to everyone else, life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness (to live the way that makes me happy). The best government is one that protects those rights and allows me to rebel against them if they try to take those rights away from me. In this essay, I’ll explain which governments allows me the following things above.
The government’s role for the people is to challenge them like how contestants from “The Amazing Race” or “Fear Factor” are challenged. Government should be like a reality competition show filled with adventure and danger (Amazing Race, 2003) (Fear Factor, 2005). Just like the government in “The Hunger Games” (Collins, 2008). People should compete for rights and liberties. The competitions can be held under the government’s supervision. These competitions can involve multiple life daring tasks and only the ones that survive win. The losers or the ones not so fortunate die in the process, a true fight to the death. Government works from a federal standpoint and does not get involved in local affairs.
In any government, there are the governing principles which help in governing the nation. These principles are used as a basis for governance in the nation. The principles are clearly defined in the nation’s constitution and the bill of rights. The important principles give people a sense of national identity of belonging to a certain nation, hold the people together and allow the government to function competently. In American government, there are fundamental principles which have been established and are used in the governing of the people. The principles include rule of law, democracy, representative government, limited government and consent of the governed. These principles are protected by the constitution of the United States.
As a citizen of the United States of America it is easy to get caught up with your day to day life and not realize everything going on around you. If you sit back and think about all the ways government affects you, you will be amazed. Let’s discuss our different levels of government, our federalist style of government, the pros and cons associated with our federalist style, the way government affects you daily, the private sector, as well as what things our government is involved in I feel is unnecessary.

Students of Ajou University attended a lecture given by Dr. Kraagac at Johns Hopkins SAIS Washington on July 21 as part of the summer school language program. Dr. Kraagac briefly taught attendees the history of the United States, how people in America built USA and why they built it. He explained the national government is divided into three separate branches.Then he told us about suspicions on government, and how that suspicions made today’s American politic system. Jacksonian, Wilsonian, Jeffersonian and Hamiltonian are the parties existed in Congress and each of them had different point of views to American Government and policies.
Government is an administration defined by the Constitution, but is also a constantly adjusting foundation by the efforts of its citizens. By Litherland (2014), government is defined as policies set in order to lead a body of people (p. 395). Over the span of time, the idea of government has been stretched, changed, and applied to various communities throughout both the nation and the world. Whether it was back in the eighteenth century, current, or in the very near future—government has existed and will continue to exist for its people and the nation it has built its foundation upon. With the use of multiple authors, those of: “Difference between Direct and Representative Democracy” (n.d.), “Federalism - Dividing Power between States and the
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
A problem that has faced the United States for years is the governments understanding of power and the ability to spread it efficiently. The United States government focus is to build the nation based on its own people’s motives. Even with redouble, it continues to do so by battling through incomplete information, commitment problems, and indivisibility.
For all of history there has existed the struggle between the strong and the weak. The establishment of government gives the power to a particular group to decide the amount of freedom the majority is allowed, however, though not ideal it provides necessary order. The benefits of security that limitations on freedom provides must be balanced with the individual's pursuit of happiness for citizens to be content. To prevent the governed majority from destabilizing the rulers and seeking power, the government will oppress political and personal freedom of thought. In result, the majority will live under the illusion of contentment and not wish to revolt; those enlightened to the idea that the government should be ruled by the governed, would associate happiness only with ignorance and consequently seek freedom.
Introducing Chapter 4, the author explains how federalism is a fundamental part of U.S government and how it gives equal power to both national and state governments. “History indicates clearly that the principal factor in the formation of federal systems of government has been a common external threat.” The authors’ quote informs the reader that people have always been weary of a strong, national government and that there is always a constant
