Ants: Story Compares To American Government Today Of All Politics
Neftali Carrera political science
12/05/12 Movie Antz The movie Antz is just like the American Government today because it has all tips of politics. In the movie it has many government issues like the colony was led by a president. In the colony there was always someone who would decide “who gets what, when, and how.” The purpose for someone to decide something and having a government is to have order of things. The movie Antz shows that it has a queen and in the queen has the power and control over the whole colony. The Antz have to follow the rules and laws that the queen puts and they have no say in it the colony was an indirect democracy. In the movie Antz they had no life, liberty and property the main character Z wanted to go outside the colony but he didn’t have his liberty to do so. In the movie the military represents a dangerous force they take advantage of their power and part of their colony die in battle. But in this movie there is only one Dictatorship running the army the queen does not get into the dissection but can make the last. I think we do need a military, not to be fighting with other countries but to train teenagers and young adults discipline and to be all they can be. Having the military also benefits us greatly by having our country secured so our army will stop those enemies that want to attack us. Of course the economy of the ants is a command economy, and everyone has to work towards "the good of the colony". The main ant that controls the army would always put that in the Antz mind to always stay together and work all the time. In this movie they don’t have a government but that’s why the colony is so manipulated by the main ant that controls the army. They need the Government because it has the ultimate authority to decide how conflicts will be resolved and how benefits and privileges will be allocated. The Antz only had one authority and would always obey that authority because

    As British colonies were established in America during the 17th and 18th centuries, colonial assemblies were established in each of the 13 colonies. Originally, these colonial governments were little more than symbolic groups of colonists, who had limited authority to levy taxes to support colonial projects, issue colonial currency, and provide colonial defense. As colonists grew increasingly dissatisfied with the Royal government, these assemblies began petitioning the Crown for grievances. During the late 18th century, colonial assemblies captured a great deal of power from the Crown, as they seized all lawmaking authority within their respective territories.…

    There are many types of governments that Wart will encounter while he is king including socialism and communism. The animals of which Wart is turned into have their own system within the story. As for the ants, T. H. White explains the ideas of Communism. “Everything not forbidden is compulsory” hangs in all the tunnels leading to the ants. The meaning behind this is saying that anything you are told to do is law. In chapter thirteen, a single queen ant rules over a population of possibly hundreds of thousands of ants. Each ant is referred to as done or not done, done meaning the ant is sane and able to perform his/her job and not done meaning the ant isn’t very useful to the ant population and their society. Not every government is ruled the same way so Merlyn displays Socialism through the geese. Among the geese there is no ruler, no laws, etc. The geese are able to roam around freely and do as they please. This works because when there are no laws, how could there be fighting; and what is the need to fight when there is never conflict? Although these are not the only two governments displayed, T. H. White goes into further details, through Wart’s character, about the lessons learned in his experiences.…

    One could say that many states, especially in the Western world, are less concerned with survival nowadays, in terms of expansionary, direct military threats. When a state is, for example, a member of the European Union, no matter what the size is of this state, it is highly unlikely that it will be attacked by a power from outside the European Union, as its protection by all the other members of the European Union is guaranteed. Thus we can conclude that military…
