Everyone knows that the government has the most power, but should they be allowed to use surveillance to keep things in order, or are they abusing the power that they are given? The government abuses their power because they think nothing is going to happen to them, For example, in December 2005 the government tapped into other people's phones and listened to their conversations without a warrant. Every time the government needs to use the power they have, they need to follow protocol before…
important thing to note is that the United States of America has a democratic form of government that is governed by many people. According to the book titled “We the People” by Ginsberg, Lowi, Weir & Tolbert (2015) a democracy is a “system of rule that permits citizens to play a significant part in the government process.” Citizens of the country have an opportunity to participate in elections and elect government officials which are known by the term as a representative democracy.

argue that the purpose of government surveillance is to protect the rights of citizens and terminate anyone or anything threatening these institutions. But the modern era is in revolt against this notion, believing that watchful eyes are only putting a hinder to individual freedom rather than protecting it; Their main purpose being to accuse the innocent and excommunicate non-conformists. When citizens are caught in a national crisis, they’ll probably be in favor of government surveillance,…

who they are speaking to, and even how they spend their money. Probably no one would want to live in such place where its citizens could not enjoy the freedom and dignity that are constitutive elements of a liberal democracy.
