Why did federal government moved an Inuit community to ellesmere island?
The relocation has been a source of controversy: on one hand being described as a humanitarian gesture to save the lives of starving native people and enable them to continue a subsistence lifestyle; and on the other hand, said to be a forced migration instigated by the federal government to assert its sovereignty in the Far North by the use of "human flagpoles", in light of both the Cold War and the disputed territorial claims to the Arctic archipelago. Both sides acknowledge that the relocated Inuit were not given sufficient support to prevent extreme privation during their first years after the move.

Which house has more equal representation senate or house of representation?
The senate gives equal representation to each state, two representatives from each state.
The house of representatives is sometimes called the peoples' house because it gives states with more people more representatives than states with fewer people. While this seems unequal, it is a fair way to represent the people.

Why are Americans frequently critical of government bureaucracy?
They are frequently critical because they think that big government is the cause of all of their problems, and that it only invades their lives without solving their problems. But the idea that the private sector works better is completely far fetched. Because the private sector is focused on profits as opposed to the actual outcome of an enterprise, they are not fit to provide governmental services to the people.
A solution would be more oversight of spending and the enforcement of the Freedom of Information Act.
The bureaucracy is always the most inefficient and most costly way to get any task performed. If they privatized and allowed people to compete for profit in pretty much all cases waste/cost/redunencies would be reduced.
Bureaucracy is the structure and set of regulations in place to control activity. It is represented by standardized procedure (rule-following), formal division of powers, hierarchy, and relationships.
It lacks free thought and common sense.
American bureaucracy puts its own comfort; convenience and longevity ahead of its mission could be called a bureaucracy.
The American Heritage Dictionary' definition of bureaucracy reads in part: "numerous offices and adherence to inflexible rules of operation; any unwieldy administration." According to Webster's new world Dictionary of the American Language, "bureaucracy is governmental officialism or inflexible routine." Roget's Thesaurus gives equally demeaning synonyms for bureaucracy: "officialism", "officiousness", and "red tape".
It needs to be reduced. Government should reduce their size by 1/2. They are too involved in daily life and need to leave that to state and local governments. Some of the ways that bills are voted on and passed needs to be changed.
Americans are expecting to receive more benefits from the government and it is the reason why they are criticizing the bureaucracy.

What government has lasted the longest and why did it fail?
The United States of America. And It didnt fail.
For 235 straight years with the same form of government, same name, and same constitution.
Can you believe it?
Strange but true.
Most people will tell you that it is San Marino --- San Marino is the oldest surviving sovereign state and constitutional republic in the world.
From 1923 to 1943, San Marino was under the rule of the Sammarinese Fascist Party.
It fell again on 1 April 1944.
In September 1944, it was occupied by German forces.
Then it changed to a communist government, which held office between 1945 and 1957 and again between 2006 and 2008.
So ---- they lost the title!
