Features of a country (state/nation-state) Population The most stable governments exist when the people share common ideas and beliefs. Territory States/countries must have established boundaries. Sovereignty The country must have supreme and absolute authority over its territorial boundaries. Government Every state has some form of and system of rules and laws

Government Government If it didn’t exist, we would have to invent it. Government is an institution and their systems that rule a country and its people.

Origins of the State The Force Theory: the theory that the state was born of force—when all the people of an area were brought under the authority of one person or group Evolution Theory: the theory that the state evolved from the family Divine Right Theory: the belief that certain people are either descended from gods or chosen by gods to rule Social Contract Theory: theory that by contract, people surrender to the state the power needed to maintain order and the state, in turn, agrees to protect its citizens

The Force Theory A State was born by force Primal man decided to force his will and rule on others

Evolutionary Theory The state gradually developed from primal families

Divine Right Theory The belief that the rule of king was God-Given and naturally perpetuated by the nobility

Social Contract Theory Agreement among individuals to unite and form a society in which members are governed by a set of rules.

Theories Thomas Hobbes Said people are violent and disorderly and selfish The government maintains order without every man for himself People give up their rights in order to be safe.They have no right to rebel. The need a social contract- government where people act on their own self interest to keep them in control John Locke Said people are moral and reasonable Government protects our natural rights of life, liberty, and property People have natural rights and may overthrow the government that does not protect their rights. Government with consent of the people is the foundation of democracy.

Locke and Hobbes John Locke Thomas Hobbes

Why do we need government? Think of a right you believe all people should have. For example, you probably agree that everyone in the United States has the right to be protected from robbers and burglars. The belief that everyone should have this protection is shared by most people in the United States. We hear about it on television, in the newspaper, and in discussions.

Purpose of Government We said that the purpose of government was to keep away the chaos that would occur with out it; an everyman for himself type society. What else can you think of that is a purpose of government? What do they do for the people? Why is government valuable to the citizens? Jot down a few ideas.

Purposes of Government Read pages 9-11. Define each purpose and give examples. Share your notes with your group/partner. Create a graphic organizer that shows examples using only pictures/symbols. (There are 4) Share your graphic organizer. Will quiz on Tuesday – Open Notes – about the purpose of government. Define the following: Unitary system, Federal system, Confederacy, Constitution, Constitutional Government Make a Venn Diagram showing the similarities and differences between a constitutional government and a government with merely a constitution.

What is Purpose of Government? Public policies are in short all those things a government decides to do. Taxation Defense Environment Education Crime Civil rights Health Care Transportation Working Conditions

Maintain Social Order People need government to maintain social order because they have not yet discovered a way to live in groups without conflict.

Provide Public Service One of the important purposes of government is to provided essential services that make community life possible and promote the general welfare. Sewer system – couldn’t do that on your on Highways Firefighters Food inspectors

Provide for National Security Another task of government is to protect the people against attacks by other states This also includes maintaining positive relationships with foreign nations.

Make Economic Decisions Governments often use their power to reduce the conflict between the rich and the poor by intervening in the economic system.
