Limiting the Power of Government

Athwart 2

     The peace and happiness are the main desire of all people on this planet. To get such a peace and prosperity we all look help from government and every citizens of the nation. However we see that government with highest power alone cannot provide peace and happiness. For instance some dictatorial governments kill their own citizen to stay on power that violates ordinary human rights. As a result I argue that limiting the power from the government and giving back to the people will help to build the better society. More over the people who choose the government to serve should obey and follow the rule of law.
     On the other hand, I do not believe that society without some limited government power will function well due the nature of human behavior. Still some rule of law created by the people of the nation should be enforced by the limited power of government. The government should recognize the people that assigned them to enforce the rule of law. In addition the government should be aware that they can be removed from the assigned office for any misconduct that leads them to break the law.
     The law is an important part of a nation because it play a role between the government who inforce the law and the people who follow the law. Limiting the government power means that the government should follow same law as other citizen and their power is restricted by the law.
     For the most part it is expected that the law should protect the liberties of its people including government officials and citizens from the abuses and injustices at the hands of government officers.  The law should be enforced on the government officials similar to individual citizens of the nation for any misconduct performed by appointed government.

 I argue that the power of government to intervene in the exercise of civil freedoms should be restricted by law. Also giving all the power for the government to promote or demote any opportunities through regulation without the will of the individual citizens should be restricted. The government should closely work with people whenever major changes or regulations are introduced to civil societies. I also think the government should leave people to make some decision on moral and ethical questions. On the other hand from view still we need some government action on enforcing law for moral and ethical behavior that related to the law. 
     I also argue that limiting the government wills maximize the opportunity, enterprise and creativity of all individuals. People can work on less regulation with freedom on making decisions and will go with higher talents and ambitions. There are a lot of advantages of limiting the power of the government. For example it will protect from having a government ruled by dictator.
     In conclusion I think the power of government should be limited to create better democratic society. In addition people should follow the law without misconduct and anyone who breaks the law should accountable.

  1. Thinking about limiting the power of government can be very thought-provoking. Sometimes it can leave an uneasy feeling when you are not sure what the outcomes will be with these decisions.
