Some documents are classified by the government so that information can't be used against them or any people involved. That is, to leave some information unclassified, the government could possibly endanger itself or a private citizen.

Since it serves as an agent for the people, the US government and most state governments are subject to open record laws. However, some records could be used to harm individuals, such as employment records, or the nation as a whole such as national security documents. Therefore, these documents are protected to protect society as a whole.
