Purpose of Government II

Purpose of Government II

Freedom or Security, one of the most conflicted questions in our society. This societal game of “tug-o-war” has always been off balance. When the Framers were writing the Constitution, they knew they had to think of a way to keep these two dissenting philosophy’s balanced. So they wrote the Constitution, hoping that that it would resolve society’s conflicts. The question is, though, is “does it work?” In our iDeal society, many problems arose from the iChip. People were so outraged by it, they started terrorizing country. It’s times like these when the Constitution really comes into play.

For example, in our iDeal society, the citizens were outraged by President Mink’s violation of constitutional rights and her suspected terrorist attacks on the country. They wrote a petition of grievances, and worked with their representatives to get the president impeached. Practicing their First Amendment right to protest showed their true value of their freedoms. Although they did not accomplish getting her impeached, the use of the Constitution is what drove most government decisions. If the people couldn’t use the Constitution to their advantage, the people would never have attained so much power.

Another instance is when the Executive Brach took the initiative and wrote a bill that would reinstate citizens’ 4th amendment right to privacy. This bill was proposed to Congress, and, thanks to them, it was passed immediately. This pleased our citizens, since it promised them the same protection they had before the iChip. After that, the problems that were caused by the iChip were beginning to wither.

However, some problems still floated among the people. President Mink, being the Founder and C.E.O. of Apple Corp., was sued after one of its customers, Malik Cooper, tragically died from what was believed to be iChip related brain problems. His family and the rest of America took their chance to stand up against the government and its corporate oppressors. After a long, tedious trial; apple won the trial with a unanimous vote. Although it seemed like a major blow to the people, it actually was the most influential things they did. Knowing that their product is, in a way, potentially lethal, they took action in screening out all possible malfunctions; making it safer and within the constitutional boundries.

In conclusion, the citizens had the greatest influence on the country than any other group of people. Our government looked out for the people, and if something was wrong with them, the government made sure it was fixed. The citizens had all the power; thanks to national public opinion, constitutional rights, and lawful influence, they were able to balance out freedom and security. The most important thing to consider when deciding what is more important, freedom or security; is who exactly you are securing yourself from.
