Purposes of Government

Provide National Defense

Provide National Defense- defend the nation from foreign enemies and our country as a whole. For example the Army, or the Airforce. Our country needs defense to be protected from enemies, otherwise it wouldn't be our country. This purpose keeps international conflicts under control.

Maintain Order- make laws that keep our country under control. for example stuff that is illegal, like stealing. This purpose helps maintain peace inside the country. It also prevents rebellion.

Provide Public Services- help from our government that makes our standard of living better. We also need to keep our country healthy and clean, which may also prevent rebellion and boosts general welfare.

Protect Individual rights- protect the rights of people and their property. Another way we maintain order and keep general welfare. People need to be insured of their life and rights and their property.

Economic decision making- government is in control of all decisions made involving our economy. for example not being able to buy reproduced items. Once again another way we keep peace and rights of individuals, the government can control what items are being sold and protect individual's rights like trademarks. Also, the government can control what we use the countries money for.
