Flaws In The Government System

Decent Essays
The government has been around for a very long time in order to keep order in the community. Over the year the government has changed because there have always been some flaws in their system. They always have to be adding or removing some ideas in order to fulfill its purpose. The government exists to maintain order, create equality for all, and to protect all their citizens. Sometimes it takes some time to make the government just right for everyone to be happy. The government wants to make sure there aren't any problems or chaos. They are here to make sure everything is going well. If the people find out there are any problems then they will begin to protest and make it into a bigger issue. The media is how everything, including the news,

    John Dean, a previous Republican that served as White House Counsel for President Richard Nixon from July 1970 until April 1973, wrote numerous books, a few of which include, “The Nixon Defense”, “Blind Ambition, and Conservatives Without Conscious”, but his book, “Broken Government: how Republican rule destroyed the legislative, executive, and judicial branches”, is an informative book written by a former Republican that tells about how the Republicans current actions have destroyed the government. I, myself, agree with John Dean that the Republicans destroyed the government because I am pro-choice. I believe that individuals have the right to get married to the same sex or get an abortion or do whatever they would like with their life because…

    Since the genesis of the United States, many centuries ago, the establishment of power and the very people who benefited from it were white. A variation of color was not apparent in those who defined freedom, and neither was the goal to obtain it. Thomas Jefferson who wrote in the declaration of independence “...all men are created equal...” owned slaves, and did so until his death. Thomas Jefferson did not need to recognize race or color when stating that “all men are equal” because there was no need. White people composed the vast majority of the demographic in 1776, and were the very people rightfully entitled to “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.”…

    The United States Government is composed of checks and balances to ensure that each branch stays within it’s limits and passes laws that would be beneficial for everyone. However, because the government is composed of people it is easily corrupted and bills that should pass on to become laws ultimately die. Not only are there competing parties that have their own agendas, but it is also composed entirely of people, people who are easy to corrupt. For example, the Gun Show Background Check Act of 2013 died in the Senate during the 113th Congress despite having massive support through the people. According to Barrett, Ted, and Tom Cohen in "Senate Rejects Expanded Gun Background Checks - CNNPolitics.com.…

    There are three branches that make up the United States Government, and that includes: the legislative, executive, and judicial branch. Each branch has a certain job to do, so to say, and each one is made up of different types of people; whether this concerns their religion, race, political party or gender. The demographics of each of these branches affects their duties in some way, either good or bad. It affects the American people, their lives, and the society they live in. These four major demographics, race, religion, gender and political party, are important when it comes to the decisions these branches in the American government are to uphold.…

    The flaws in the constitution are not limited to intentional ambiguity and vagueness, for major issue can be found in chapter four, which despite not being included within the section marked specifically for listing the rights of Thai people, clearly limits the freedoms of the Thai people and must be addressed. Chapter four is entitled “Duties of the Thai People,” and delineates the relationship between the Thai people and the executive government. The first of these “duties” is listed under section seventy and states “Every person has a duty to protect and uphold the nation, the religion, the King, an the democratic regime with the King as the Head of State.” When combined with section seventy one, which states “ Every person has a duty to defend the country, to protect the interests of the country and obey the law,” the rights from the previous chapter are almost entirely undermined. By including these clauses, the government essentially states that if they deem anything that a Thai person is doing, whether it be accessing information that criticizes the government or practicing an unpopular religion, that person will be violating their duties.…

    Imperfection has no place in the republic because it hinders the role of justice in society. Socrates says all imperfect babies will be thrown away because they will not benefit the republic in any way. Anything that is produced by citizens that is not beneficial will be annihilated. Imperfect thoughts and ideas can lead citizens to unjust actions. Socrates says, "… they should be careful not to let a single fetus see the light of day, but if one is conceived and forces its way to the light, they must deal with it in knowledge that no nurture is available for it", if imperfect thoughts and actions see the light of day they will destroy the republic (Republic, 461c).…

Most of the governments try to sustain their power by doing different kinds of propaganda and manipulating their citizens. Those governments think that they need to have their citizens under control and prevent any dangerous movement that is opposing the government, by various techniques. While a few of the governments use force on the people and are harsh to stay in power, most of the governments subtly convince their citizens by falsely promising welfare to them and furthermore affecting their thoughts in various ways to impose their selfish ideas on them. Governments are affecting their citizens’ thoughts by falsely telling that what the government…

    All governments are created to maintain a certain degree of order. Some governments allow each citizen an equal opportunity to participate in political outcomes. Other governments restrict the ability of citizens to have any influence over their nation’s rule. Both cases fall within the scale of government types: from oppressive regimes to anarchist factions. Although these types can differ dramatically, the same goal of all governments remains alike.…
