Introduction There are a number of cases that have been put forward discussing the importance of having a smaller government ruling a given country. On the other hand, there have been little or no cases that put forward the importance of having a larger government in the society (Cheol Ung Je, 2011).

Conclusion
To conclude, there are a number of discussions that have been done on the need for having a small government but very little has been done on the importance and the need to have a large government. As a result, this paper has given some of the important arguments that brings out the importance of having a large government running the affairs of a given nation.
