Hello!! you asked this question : What is the purpose of government? Select a quotation from a US president. Then, write an argumentative essay that explains why you agree or disagree with the president's views. In the conclusion to your essay, present your own views on the purpose of government based on the statement you evaluated and discussed.
Answer: The basic purpose of having a government is to look after the general Welfare of its people by securing freedom of people and providing justice to everyone, providing the country with defence system and ensure tranquillity (domestic).
To go with the quote John Adams To be good and to do good is all we have to do.
Explanation: I agree with this quote because only this is the method or way in which good can be done to everyone. If we are good we can think about what is correct and in favor of betterment of society and will have the courage to put it into action so that whatever the consequences the society shall benefit from it. i hope.
And in my view that is the sole purpose of having a government to get justice and equality in society.
