Why is State Government important?

Answer 1

Government is important. The government is important because without it the world would be chaos. The government keeps us in order. Also if the Greeks wouldn't have made democracy a kind of government , the world would be fighting about it and complaining " It isn't fair". There would be so much confusion. We would be wild maniacs and I don't know about you but, I don't want to be one.

Answer 2

In a federal system of government like the United States has, a great deal of power (and responsibility) is NOT given to the central national (federal) government, and is instead delegated to the States carry out. In general, the creators of the US Constitution considered that the States should perform duties that were immediately important to the residents of only that state, and that the federal government should handle matters which were important to citizens of all states.

As such, States handle much of the work that is of daily importance to the average resident: state laws cover most criminal actions, state courts handle most civil disputes, the states provide public education direction and funding, road maintenance, environmental controls, public transportation projects, and a whole host of other activities.

In general, the State government has the widest responsibilities of any of the three major spheres of government in the US (Federal, State, and Local), and has the largest immediate impact on residents.

Answer 3

Government is needed because it is the institution through which the people are able to maintain order, provide public services, and enforce decisions that are binding on all members of society. Without a government, the basic rights of the people might not be protected. As the Declaration states, governments are instituted in order to protect the rights of all people, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Governments also protect the nation from foreign or domestic enemies. And the government protects the nation from attack from abroad or from within the nation's boundaries.

Answer 4

For populations, especially on the scale that we know them today, societies must have a set of rules in order to function.

The government passes the laws, provides law enforcement, provides local and national protection, oversees the country's infrastructure. Most governments also provide education for its citizens and some provide health care, and may provide a wide variety of other types of services. Local governments, city, state, and federal governments have a role in providing these things and for collecting the taxes to pay for them.

Government is important because it control the scale of the population, tax and make policy for the country and agency to regulate it.

Government guides society and creates norms and expectations for behavior.

Government ensures stability and reasonable peace in which to live and work.

Government offers protection from attacks by foreign nations.

because the government gives us taxes and without taxes nobody can get payed and taxes actually help buy things for your schools and sometimes even for where you work it depends on were you work and without the government we wouldn't have laws which we need or else everything will be rampshered and we wouldn't have a bank and if we did everything could be tooken out by one person just bcause we didnt have a government... that's why the government is important

government is important because if we didn't have government, we would have no rules. And the country would be very durty we wouldn't have the Canadian charter of rights and freedoms so it wouldn't be a very good country

When there is a group of people larger than an extended family, the difference in people's opinions and ideas will begin to conflict. In order to support the well being of the group and ensure their needs are met (food, shelter, safety), it is more successful strategy for the group to agree on and follow one set of rules and methods. Most societies, as they grew in numbers, devised their own systems and sets of beliefs that had proven successful for them. When they didn't or if their choices were unwise, they would eventually disappear or be taken over by a group whose choices worked better. Interestingly enough, most of the successful societies (those who have remained to date or at least long enough to find their way into written histories), used many similar techniques which eventually evolved into the societies and governments we know today.

The Founding Fathers believed it was important to have a strong central government for various economic, political and military reasons so that the new states could function together as a single nation.

After the Revolutionary War, the individual states operated as a loose conglomeration of sovereign states rather than as a single nation. The states were more like separate countries unto themselves with no significant obligation to one another or to the government under the Articles of Confederation. In many instances, the interests of some states were contrary to the interests of other states. The result was economic and political chaos, which had to be corrected or the new nation would break apart.

Economic problems were created because each state coined its own money, levied its own taxes and controlled the commerce between them. This prevented the smooth operation of business between the states themselves and between them and other countries.

Politically, the loose central government did not have the ability to treat with other nations, since individual states considered themselves free to disregard treaties made by the central government and other nations. Other nations were reluctant to enter into treaties with the United States government because they feared that individual states might not abide by them.

Militarily, the individual states could be attacked by Britain, France or Spain, all of which still had colonial interests in the continent. Spain controlled Florida and allowed pirates and Indians to attack settlements in Georgia. France controlled the Louisiana area and allowed the same activity against the new western areas. And of course Great Britain still had a presence in Canada and would have wanted nothing more than to see the new country split itself into sections and then try to take them back little by little. Without a strong central government, the new nation could not properly protect itself.

The inadequacies of the Articles of Confederation were all too clear, so when the call came to revise them, the delegates knew the problems they faced. After some failed attempts to amend them, it was clear they had to be replaced entirely with a constitution creating a stronger central government.

Ideas on what to do and how to do it came from many sources. They go back to England's Magna Carta in the year 1215, which was an agreement between the King of England and the nobles of the country guaranteeing the nobles certain protection and limiting the power of the monarch.

The power of England's Parliament as it grew over time served as a basis for modelling the Congress.

Philosophical theories of the legitimacy of governments as put forth by Thomas Hobbes, John Locke and Montesquieu were also inspirations. John Locke's theory of the social contract between government and the governed was prominent in the opening words of the Constitution: "We, the people of the United States.

Thomas Paine, born in England, wrote about the senselessness of being governed by kings who had a right to pass on the titles to their children.

Alexander Hamilton is said to have written a report on the deficiencies of the Confederation and calling for a convention to revise the Articles of Convention. The Virginia delegation to the Constitutional Convention drafted a series of proposals called the Virginia Resolves, which served as starting points for the various issues. They included the so-called Virginia Plan for determining the make-up of Congress. William Patterson of New Jersey drafted an alternate plan called the New Jersey Plan. James Madison contributed many ideas to the final product and was influential in bringing states with competing self-interests to settlements. Even though the Articles of Confederation were inadequate to create a nation, many of its provisions were used at least as foundations of some aspects of the Constitution.
