    1.) The most important purpose of the government is to provide citizens with the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
    2.) Though our government is not always the best at establishing justice and promoting general welfare, it does its best to secure the blessings of freedom guaranteed to us via the Declaration of Independence. They do this by ensuring that our homeland is tranquil and safe through providing a military to protect our freedom

    1. I believe that the government's purpose is to serve the needs every citizen deserves by ensuring they are protected on the land of freedom.
    2. By finding a way to stay on the same page (even when there are disputes), they're able to solve minor or major problems.

    1) In my opinion the government's most important purpose is to preserve public order and maintain a national defense.
    2) By making laws to to keep order in the country, even if the citizens don't like it, because without laws it would be chaos. Also by maintaining a national defense to protect our country and its citizens.

    1. I believe that the government's biggest purpose is to ensure the general welfare of the people it protects because the people are who ultimately make it possible for the government to even exist.
    2. Making sure people are good in their lives is kept up with by providing an education and having programs that help the more needy.

    1) The main purpose of a government would have to be to establish law and order throught the land. It would also have to be their respinsibilty to protect its people and do things that should always benefit the people. These are leaders that have to stand up for the people. It should honestly be a government of the people, by the people and for the people as one of the greatest Presidents to ever live said.

    2) Even though the Government of the U.S. has had some major flaws throughout history, it has tried to keep its word by keeping peace throughout the nation and giving every person the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

    1. The purpose of the government is to ensure that the country and its citizens do not fall into complete anarchy.

    1) The purpose of a government should be to affirm and uphold both the inalienable rights endowed by God on to their citizens and the rights which the citizens feel they are entitled to.
    2) The government of the United States has in place the Supreme Court which assures that no laws infringe upon American's constitutional rights. Also the entire federal government system is designed so as to prevent any one branch (judicial, executive, legislative), from becoming too powerful and then threatening the rights of everyday Americans.

    1.) The most important purpose that a government can give their people is to protect the people when there's a time of crisis and to listen to the people.
    2.) Whenever we are in a national crisis, we go to war and try to defend ourselves and the people who are out allies. Even though going straight to war is wrong in my opinion, we still do it. The government listened to the people when we think a certain situation was unfair and that's how women got the right to vote and how slavery was abolished.

    1) Establishing justice is, in my opinion, the most important purpose of government. A government should be fair and impartial without biases toward any group in order to be a suitable foundation for people to prosper.

    2) Our government, for the most part, does a fairly decent job of establishing justice, however, even though we won't admit it, we still see an unacceptable amount of racial discrimination.
