The Purpose of Government
A lot of people wonder what is the purpose of government, why
is it there anyway? This is a good question because even
though many people think they know what the purpose of
government is, other people disagree and this sometimes can
cause government to not be affective. This is because people in
Washington are always fighting over things that don’t matter
very much but don’t pay enough attention to solving problems. I
think the purpose of government is to do what the people tell
them to do, that is why they elected them.
I think government is the worker that works for the people who
tell them what they want them to do by the way they vote at the
election poll. I don’t like it when people in the congress don’t
do what the constitution said. The constitution gives people
rights and let’s people be free to do what ever they want with
their own lives. (constitution, 1776). Everyone wants themself
to be free and to enjoy that freedom like the constitution and the
people who wrote it wanted.
I think it is important for those people who the people trust with
leading the government do a good job to meet everybodys
needs, whatever kind they might be, this is what governments
do, they solve everybodys needs so that everything is fair and

12. everyone is equal.
The constitution makes it governments job to make sure that
everybody is treated equal (14 amendment). People all are
wanting to be equal and this menes that government must do
what the people tell them to do. Why else do people vote them
in office? What good would it be if it did not do what the
people want for it to do? This is the best thing about how the
founders of the constitution were hoping to make America work.
Its a good thing that it’s purpose are written in the constitution
so that the people can tell the government that it is supposed to
do what the prople want for it to do. I think this is why the
people who rote the constitution put in it that there are three
different parts to the government, this is called the separation of
power. This is so the president can make congress make laws
that do what the people want them to do. The constitution also
makes the courts have the power to decide when things are done
like the constitution wants and when they are not constitutional.
I think this is a huge idea because this is the reason that the
constitution doesn’t let the president or the senators or the
people in congress or the lobbyists have too much power. This
is why there are checks and balances to make sure no body has
to much strength in government.
Conclusion
I think that even though America is a country that is equal
everyone is not equal and it is the job of the government to
make sure that that it makes everybody equal so that everything
is fair, this is why we have the government, this is why we go to
the voting poll to vote for people who will make the government
better. I think if government was doing everything it was
supposed to be doing, more people would be equal in their jobs
they have, more people would be equal in the how much money
they make, more people would be equal in the house they live
in, and more people would be treated equal in their lives.
Government is in control of what laws it raises and they can
raise up laws that help people who are needing help to get
whatever things they are needing from the government to be

13. equal with other people.
