Does your government still serve the purposes that the founders intended?

Answer 1

Myself It Doesn`t Have. By The Words Used In Documents Declaring Independence, And Self Governing. The Lord Was Expressed And Equility Of Men. Seldom Hear Of This Now.

ANSWER: Not even close. Look at the news today. Homeschooling declared illegal when there was no such thing as public education in the beginning, Department of Child Welfare Services, which is not at all mentioned in the Constitution is so booked up stealing children away from their parents, parents that actually want the state to take their children have to put themselves on a waiting list. The President is the most powerful man in the free world, the courts legislate law through activism and Congress gets better and craftier at writing laws that make the people think they're subject to, and ultimately do gain jurisdiction from the willful granting of jurisdiction by people who only wish to obey the law. The FCC suppresses freedom of expression, the ATF infringes upon the rights of gun owners, FEMA just flat out offends everybody and the IRS routinely investigate churches for something their pastor said in a sermon. Imagine that, a tax collection agency investigating a church for things that were said. Thank god for that whole separation of powers thing.

Answer 2

Whether or not the government still serves the purposes that the Framers intended is a matter of debate. Some believe the government has grown too large and powerful, while others argue that it has grown to accommodate the ways the nation has changed. Both sides believe their views are represented in the Constitution.

Answer 3

Yes, our Democracy government does still include the purposes of the framers because part of their government included farming, and economics decribing the concept of it being similar to a Democracy government.

Answer 4

Yes. In reading Adams, Jefferson, and Monroe we can see how they thought government should be and we have to ask " what makes good government " . Adams said, " all good government was republican ( he didn't mean the political party) and the true idea of a republic was an empire of laws and not men." Franklin said, " only virtuous people are capable of freedom ." The founding fathers felt that democracy wouldn't be easy, but with the participation of the people and the government working for the common good that the people can have good government with virtues. It seems we have forgotten the idea of government for the common good of all the people and not just a few as well as the people have to participate. When only one in three vote we are getting the government we ask for. If you doubt this watch the news.

Answer 5
