Yes we need a Government. We need these laws. Without laws people will do whatever they want. That means they can kill and steal and no one can do anything about it. Without the laws no one has natural rights. Without laws no one has rights.

There are many reasons why I think that we need a government. One reason why I think we need a government is because our state wouldn't be in great organize shape.Second reason why I think we need a government is to keep the laws in America on task.Third reason is because so people won't get in trouble because they didn't follow the laws.For many reasons why I think we need a government.

You would need many things in or to build a government. Every country needs a government. A government needs money,judges to help out with crimes being committed and much more thing they handle. Most states don't have a government. The government builds communities they try to help people but they are mostly think about how people are going to eat. Where are people going to sleep they want to help. From where I stand it don't even seem like we have a government. That's what I think about the government.

In life people everyone have their own opinions about having or not having something or someone. For example I think that we do need a government. One reason is because without the government there would be chaos, destruction, mayhem. Another reason is because the government is protection and security. Plus another reason is because it would be difficult for people to survive without certain things the government provide to use. These are my reasons to explain my thoughts and ideas on this topic.

Personally I think we do need to have a government and a good one. The government does great things for every well at least most of the time. they handle most of the city's problems fix things if they're going wrong. Plus a lot they try to give to less fortunate community's. So basically they keep everything in check. So yes I would say we need a goverment.

Toni,
I think you raised some good points. Can you explain what you mean when you say that it doesn't "seem" like we have a government?

Yes i do think America needs a government so it can support us in time on need. Also a government is supposed to help keep America a civilized country. How could you control a world with out any rules and how can we live without any rules to guide us. i think we need a government to help us because if we have a President he or she will need advice and help to inharite this country. so i think its a good idea that we have a government to help American and us as people who live in this country

i think in some cases that the government is not needed. because when there is a special auction. the only people you see are rich government type people there.and they buy all your stuff what happens to you! i don't know because they will only put the stuff they bought at the auction. is put in storage to rot and decade for a long time.that is a rude thing to do and don't regret it.but the one time the government should be there. is to do a investigation on what had happened.i think this off topic but that is what i think.

Jackson said...

Divine, can you please provide examples of how the government helps people survive?

I think that yes we do need a government. We need law so people can control them self. Sometime It seems like we don't even have laws. I say that because most people out here don't even follow the laws. With the government now with Obama as president I think that people would have a little respect and control them self.So yes we need a government.

Yes i do think that we need a goverment because who are going to run every thing.How is the people in america going to get money. Also how are people going to have homes.Another thing that is how are citizens going to be confused because there is no laws they can follow.There are going to be people robbing and killing and there wont be any police to catch them.Everyone needs their "Natural Rights" that is what i think.

well i am not sure because every thing they can do we can do for our self.like what does he/she do all they do is go and take care of isuse ok its not like we cant do that.but also i think that we should have government one reason is that they could handle the issues better than we can one.one more is that when the people say that when things are going wrong they say its the government fault . i think its a waist of if to do that if they are going to blame them then whats they point off having one.so this s what i think so i think its a waist of time to even have government so thats what i think.

Jackson said...

I believe many thing and i think we should have government in every state.Governor give poor people money or help low classes people.Governor get money from citizens but it still better to have one.Government is the heads leader in the united states.Government take part in every thing that happen in their state and gave to say his point of view.Sometime the government have to come with solution.Governor have many responsiblity and your one of it.

Jackson said...

because,if we don't then who will make sure that the people in that state are safe?If there is an hurricane coming who is going to tell us?We need a government because,someone needs to run the state.If we don't have a government then we don't have laws and we need laws.The government has their way of getting the job done and we need to respect what they have to do.So yes we do need a government.

Jackson said...

Yanice! Thank you for making the 'connection" with Natural Rights!!! Good Job.

Yes i think we do need a government.I say that because with out the government who would help the president of the u.s.A government is very important to the u.s nation.I say that the government is important because with out them we wont have many things done.For example are streets wouldn't be fixed,we would not ha police mens that try to make the streets better and safe for us to walk on.Not having a government can be a total disaster to are community.The government is a piece of a big organization they are the ones that do what they are told by the president soon to BARACK OBAMA

The answer is yes, because we really need somebody to stand up for us and to actually do something about it. The government to me is powerful but not as powerful as the president. But at least they can do something for our problems or situations, bring them to the white house or a place where these kind of things are handled. we need a government because if we didn't our world would be even more violent. Because to me the first part of fixing situations is bringing them to someone that knows how to handle it and I think if your problem is that important they'll fix it for you or let your voice be heard...

Yes we need a government.But not the government we have today. Today's government takes advantage of the power they have. Yes there should be laws but serious laws on murder,rape,hate, and things of that nature. Not the laws we have today, we are people and do have rights and some of the laws today take those rights away. America is said to be a free country, but we really aren't free at all. And no matter what we say or do the government will not listen to us,they think we're a joke.

Jackson said...

Ronald,
What do you think the country would be like without a government? Give a few examples.

Because he is our 1st black president and everybody wanted him to win so now that he won everybody is going to give him there utmost respect.

Anonymous said...

I think we need a government because the President is going to want some advice for situations and for
problems.A government should be there so he or her should make messages for The United States citizens.The President should not be the person going places.It is important to have a extra hand at your side.I know it is the President job to save America but think about it one person cannot go to fifty states in a couple of months.That's perspective why we need a government.

John I think we really do need a government, imagine someone robbed your house and you saw who it was theres nothing you can do about it. The government helps us they protect our natural rights. In the Worksheet that we got from Ms. Jackson about John Locke, he says "The main purpose of government should be to protect the people's Natural Rights..."

I think OBAMA will make people follow laws in many ways.For example one way is by giving people human rights.OBAMA WILL SOON BE IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND EVERY THING E=WILL CHANGE.

Jackson said...

Kelvin, good answer. Try to watch your grammar....read it over before you send it.

Anonymous said...

NICE precious..... do you think OBAMA will really help us in our time of need

Jackson said...

Lucus,
We have a government...and wouldn't you say that some people don't act "civilized"?

Anonymous said...

I think we don't need the government. because most of the laws affect people in negative ways. and lose every thing that they have.because of that effect I can't trust the government. as much as i used to trust them.they make oil factories that are polluting the our own water supplies. and most of the water is used to save our crops. how are we going to make food with polluted water.that is what i say by we might not need a government.

Jackson said...

Wilton, you have a good point that the government has a big responsibility...not just to create laws.

Well Ms. Jackson there are many reasons why I thing we don’t have a government. We hear about the president but not them. They don’t take our opinon or our ideas. So why do we matter. It seems like they are not even doing any work. Its not fair if we don’t know what they are doing they could be making Boston a worse place how would we know if they don’t send update put something on TV. The reason why they say kids don’t know anything is because they are to saying anything. It kind of seems like they are hiding things from us that’s not fair. What if we wanted to research the government but how are we supposed to do it if they don’t put out something saying what they’ve been up to? That not good cause all the U.S people are all left clueless and it’s not right. That’s why I thing that we don’t have a government.

The government helps us survive in many ways. I say this for a few reasons. One reason is because Without the government how would we get money. This is true because money of course comes from the government. Another reason is because without the government we wouldn't be able to defend our selfs to go to war. This is also true because the government supplies our troops with everything from weapons to vehicles and all of that good stuff. Plus another reason is because there wouldn't have products and items that we use everyday from other countries without the government. I say this because the government makes deals with these countries so we could receive the following items. These are my reasons to explain why we need the government to survive.
