Jefferson makes a valid point of view because he tells us how a government should be as in like how it should be able to do more things. Also how it should become better instead of letting it get worse. As Lincoln said "The government should be more active and bigger." It shows how Lincoln is express how he felt about the government and what
its purpose was. Another thing is that in my own words I think that the purpose of a government is to protect and be in control of what it is doing. Lincoln tells us that we should have a much bigger government instead of a smaller government. That's why I agreed with Lincoln's point of view on the purpose of the government.
The government has many different purposes but that is the only ones I talked about in my essay. The government can be described in many different ways. That's the purpose and who I agreed with for this argument.
