What is a Government? Government is the institution through which the state maintains social order, provides public service, national security, and enforces public policy Public policy is all of the goals a government sets and the various courses of action it pursues as it attempts to realize these goals.

Theories:  Evolutionary-based on an extended family idea that eventually evolves into a “state”.  Force-people were forced under the control of those more powerful and a “state” was formed.  Divine Right- “gods” have chose those who rule.

How do we begin to discuss what is government and why do we have government? Our modern day thought on government originated with the ideas of Aristotle a scholar in ancient Greece. He studied and debated the ideas of POLIS (Greek City-State), POLITICS (Process), DEMOCRACY (People Rule) and REPUBLIC (Representative Government).

 Comes from the Latin word “to stand”.  Today “state” represents a “political community” that is organized.  There are over 200 “states” in the world today.  In the United States our nation is a “state” and we are organized into 50 “states”.  “Nation” is a group of people tied together by race, language, culture, custom, tradition and even religion.

 Population-you need people and are those people stable, mobile or ?  Territory-land, borders, issues  Sovereignty-who is in political control-who is in charge? No outside control, State makes all decisions  Government-institution through which decisions are made and implemented.

 Unitary: Gives all key powers to a national or central government  Federal: Power is divided between the national government and provincial (state) governments  Confederacy: Loose union of independent states

Unitary Confederate Federal Location of Power CITIZENS GOVERNMENT

 Constitution: Formal written document that is known as the owners manual for a government’s powers HOUSE.CONGRESS RESOLUTION 331
