Purpose of the Government

The purpose of the government to me is ultimately having responsibility of the individuals living in society as well as the land that those individuals live on. The sole purpose for the government comes down to the wellbeing of individuals and what it can do to make sure that every single person has equal rights and liberties , while bringing stability as well. The most important purpose to me is that the government maintains a stable society. If we did not have stability, then I don’t think we would be where we are today.

We are allowed to vote and have free speech, which in return, lets society as a whole elect who we think will look out for our individual interest, as well as the society as a whole.

We as society need some sense of civic sense and responsibility to be able to not only look out for each other, but help enforce the rules set in place to keep a safe and friendly environment. As human nature would have it, we cannot predict how another human being will act toward another or even act out when put in a certain setting. Therefore, we need the government to make laws that can prevent or detour negative acts while among society. Another factor for stability in society is having economic stability. Without economic stability, the society would become stagnant and would not be able to grow, therefore making it difficult to stabilize. Not having economic stability makes society have a negative outlook for consumer spending. Not having society spend hurts the growth of the economy.
