The Gettysburg Address by Abraham Lincoln, America's first Republican president.\n\n\nFour score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. \n\nNow we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. \n\nBut, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE, shall not perish from the earth.

No I do not agree with Adam Smith; I believe the government’s first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives. These three are important general “duties” they do not even compare to the broad spectrum of duties that are needed to truly govern a country. A government is for the people. It does not only have three duties yes they maybe important but there is more to a government than just those three duties. A government protects people, makes everyone feel equal; try’s to satisfy every person living in that place. A government does not just want to be satisfied with what it has it want s to succeed, it doesn’t want to be mediocre it wants to be the best. If the government only had those three duties it would not be a very good government there would be chaos every where.

Technically, the legislature (the House and the Senate). But the President and Vice President often suggest and sponsor laws through congressmen and senators.

It's a totalitarian government - i.e. the citizens have no voice in the government, the government controls everything the people do.  Much of what the government does is to brainwash the citizens into thinking that the what the government is telling them to do is really their choice.  \n\nI really suggest that you read "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley after this one.  Many writers have taken on the idea of how to portray a government that has removed people's abilities to make choices in their lives without it being apparent that it has happened.

Head of state or chief of state is the generic term for the individual or collective office which serves as the chief public representative of monarchic or republican nation-state, federation, commonwealth or any other political state. His or her role generally includes personifying the continuity and legitimacy of the state and exercising the political powers, functions and duties granted to the head of state in the country's constitution.\n\nThe head of government is the leader of the government or cabinet. In a parliamentary system, the head of government is often styled premier, prime minister etc. In presidential systems or imperial systems, the head of government may be the same person as the head of state, who is often titled president of the republic or monarch.

An excellent question. I am forced to borrow one of my favorite quotes:\n\n"In a democracy, the people get the government they deserve."\n\nI just hate the fact that before the people react, as I believe a little over HALF of them did on Nov. 7, they wait until the situation has bottomed out - rather than consistently participating in our government and trying to keep an even keel.\n\nAs the quote above indicates, you are 110% correct in placing the blame for any failures in this great nation squarely on the shoulders of the people. \nThe system of democracy cannot sustain itself without the peoples participation and constant input. \nPower corrupts - we see it demonstrated on a weekly basis - and, at times, even more often.\n\nThe people are the ultimate checks and balance - but only if they excercise that duty.

Either...\n\n"Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony." \n\nor\n\n"I'm not dead."

the government is supposed to be the channel to the people from their own country to represent their (the people) voices. and the government is supposesdly to guide the people, to unite them, to serve the people to bring out peace in the world.\n\nbut the government system has been deteriorated nowadays, and like you said, it has helped the rich to be more richer and somehow it tends to lose focus on the objectives of the government system itself. and the poorer gets oppressed now and then.\n\nno government is right in this world. we just have to deal with it and live our life by our own rules at the end of the day.
