Government is the institution that the state provides public services, maintains social order, and enforces decisions that have effect on all people living in the state. 2. Why did government originate? There are two theories on why the government originated. The first one is the theory of evolution, which suggests that the natural progression of government emerged from early family units. The second one is the force theory, which asserts that an individual or a small group seized control over an area, compelling everyone within it to submit to their rule. Once this rule was established, all the fundamental elements of the state— population, territory, sovereignty, and government—were in place. 3. What are the function of government? To uphold social order, offer public services, ensure national security and common defense, and establish an economic system. 4. Our nation is a combinations of numerous unities; race, religion, customs and traditions. Please list four commonalities of our nation and why you choose these four? We all support the freedom of choice and freedom of speech. We value our individual personal space, and both the population and law enforcement adhere to the law. 5. Pick one of the four essential features of a state (population, territory, sovereignty and government). Which one do you think is the most important and Why? Government, because it’s all about the well being of society. 6. Tomas Hobbes was one of the first to theorize the social contract. Name two Social Contracts we have here in the United States. What have they done for our country?
The U.S. Constitution delineates the powers and limitations of the government. The Declaration of Independence emphasizes the freedom to be Americans.
