What are the qualities of a good government?

Governments are essential in providing structure to nations, states, cities, schools, businesses, and so on. The history of government and its use in the 21st century originates from Ancient Greece and Rome. So the question is the following:

What makes a good government?

Ex. The essence of any good government is to represent the will of the people. Any good government will provide a system of structure and integrity so that it can function well. In order for this to happen, government must educate its citizens. Citizens who lack education can never make informed decisions regarding law, the economic status of a country, and social programs that affect many individuals who are dependent on the government for support. In addition, a government that is good is one that will allow for open criticism. This way government is aware of the thoughts of the people and able to stay relevant. A good government is one which listens to its citizens.

  1. There isn't a perfect government in the world. Some governments aren't fair. Fairness should be in everything because it's also, kinda like respect. In addition, government should be more careful with controlling price & money. Such as, gas & the taxes. The government actually raised all of this. A government also should take care of the education too. "The cuts" has been very difficult for teachers, the L.A.U.S.D, & also students. Everyone wishes the government was like how tey want it to be, but thats truly called "a good government".

  2. A good govermenthas to be trustworthy. A good goverment has to be right. The goverment has to make laws help people. When they put it should cause less chaos. Also a goodgoverment has to be smart. A good goverment has to know if the gas prices they put are fair. These are what a good goverment should be like.

  3. There are various things that can make a government better. One thing that can make government better is democracy. Democracy can make government better by allowing the public to decide and vote for what they think, instead of having one person decide and having others go on strike. Letting the public vote will also allow you to see different perspectives. This is one way of many to make a government better.

  4. There are many elements that make a good government.For example organization can make a good government. If there is no oraganization then it would be chaos.Another thing that can also make a good government is respect.If there is no respect it could also be chaos or it couls also make some other problems.If there is no respect then no one would want to go there and ask for help.Thats why everytime someone goes to the government to ask for help or to say something you have to treat them with respect.A goos government also has to respect everyone.This are some elements that make up a good government.

  10. Many things make a goverment good.One thing is that it has to have citizenship.For example,Antonio Villaraigoza shows citizenship when he visits Los Angeles and talks to his people like he is one of them.Another thing is that it has to have respect itself and others.For example,Arnold Sweirchneiger respects his work as well as the people that respect him.Last reason is that it has to have leadership.For example,Barack Obama shows leadership when he stands up for his people when its neccessary.A good goverment is made by many things. -Apolinar Hernandez Princeton

  11. A goverment has to do with a lot of things to become a good society. One thig are the laws it controls people making then understand in an ethical way what is good and bad or crueltial. Justice and rightneouss is another factor in maing a good goverment. Justice brings peace in the country, rigtneoussgives everyone rights to speak to up and express themself correcting if any system is wrong and fix or improve it. At last organization it oranizes a system examples were Egypt everything had its time to work or practice. Organization is knowing what to do without freaking out. At last respect , respect people how you would want o be respected. These factors make up a good goverment elias solis princeton

  12. A good government is somone who good and fair, no matter what their race is. They treat everyone with the same rights. A good example of a governer that was not a good government was Arnold Schawshniger. He wasn't fair with a lot of undoc undocumented Mexicans. He was racist with them. Therefore, many people didn't like him. A good governer is JERRY BROWN. As one can see, that shows a good governer.

  13. A good goverment has to have many qualities that supports our society. One quality is that it has to have schools for kids. Kids need to have schools so they could have education. Another quality is that parents need jobs. Parents need jobs so they could get money,buy food, buy clothes, and pay bills. Lastly, is that the goverment is responsible for keeping low prices.If the prices are to high we will not buy anything.Those are the qualities a goverment needs.

  16. A good government does or needs to do a lot of things for his people.For example,a good government puts or invents new laws so his people would follow them and won't be doing bad stuff that will affect the community.Agood goverment also provides light,power,and water for his people.When a government does that the people know that their government could be trusted.Also, a goood government provides a good education for the children of the parents.The parents will thank him and will say that he is a good and friendly government.It takes a lot of hard work to reach the perfection of being a good government.

  23. Governments are considered good when there is no dictator ship and there is justice. Justice and rightousness causes citizens to come as a community. If the world did not have justice nor righteousness there would be crimes causing the government to fall apart. Since some of the world does not have righteousness and justice there would be no need for laws to be created.

  25. There are different things that make a good government. One thing that makes a good government is laws. Without laws there would be chaos. There would be chaos because if there weren't laws people would just do bad things and just get away with it. Another thing a good government needs is punishments. with punishments people who do bad things won't get away with it so easily. Voting is another thing a good governent needs because with voting you get everyone's decision and ia is fair. Those are some things that a good government needs.

What makes a good government os the ability to make good choices.What also makes a good government is to make laws that are fair to the people.Ethics also form a good government,beacause if they don't have ethics then the people won't be happy with them (the government).Righteousness also makes a good government beacause it helps them make good choices.It (righteousness)also has them make the right dessision so the people will be hqappy with the government and then they won't complain.Righteuosness also helps the people to make good dessions with the government.These are some examples of what makes a good govenment.

Government needs court because of safety .If someone does a crime and tthere is no punishment the person will keep doing it and will hurt other people.Court is specifically for people who commit crime.Government is one of the most important things to have in a country.Nicole G.Stanford

  28. A good goverment has order. In order one good thing to have are laws. The reason is because with no laws their is no order. With that, people can harm or mabye even kill other people. Another thing you may need are punishment. The reason is because if their is no punishment than people will do bad and keep on doing it because their is nothing to stop them. these are some things thatmake up a good goverment.

  29. "What makes a good government?" many ask, here are some opinions on good government. Leaders of the government are righteous and fair is one state of good government. Another is that governors know how to create good laws. Governors have to know what people want. They have to provide fair taxes. Another state of good government is that they let the people speak their own minds and lets them state their own opinion. That is what people call a good and fair "government".

Good goverment is when the leader showing justice.So the leader will have a good sense of laws.Furthermore,a good goverment is someone who does rightousness.So that would be fair and proper.For example,if the leader would make people pay $300 for tax.Then use it for their use.That would be having no rightousness.This is what goverment would be like.

  48. There are many reasons how you could make a good government. One reason is that you should have fair laws because for some people they dont have equal chooses. Another reason is that the government should have good repect to other such as the people that where not born here in the U.S. For example like the people that live in Mexico dont have the same fairness in other places. These were two reasons of how to have a good government.

  49. There are many things that make up a good government. For example, a good government would need reasonable laws. This means the laws are agreeable to (at least) most people. The government should also give more jobs. People would have more money and could pay their taxes. There would be more money for medical assisstance and education. The government should give more money to schools so that more people would have a better education. If the government gave money for medical assisstance, less people would be sick/dying. Due to these reasons, many things make a good government.

  50. Agood goverenment needs a fair leader. Also it needs to be in sync. For example a lady posted a rasist comment on obama because he wouldn't show or release his birth certificate. While in the past you had to respect the president like you would a teacher or principal. Also today some people make history. For example Obama has been the first african americanto be the president. Also the government has to agree on the laws for our country so do the voters. That is what makes a good goverenment.

  52. Lots of things make a good government. One thing that makes a good government is a kind leader. this is important beacause if he/she is kind they can take in ideas that the citizens gave. Another important thing that makes a good government is laws. Laws help create structure and structure helps keep away chaos. Another important feature that a good government needs is the ability to give everyone a fair chance and give everyone equal rights. The last thing a good government needs is good judgement. Good judgement is important because it gives everyone a right punishment. This is wat makes a good government.

They have to be fair to people, and help people that actually need help. That makes a good goverment.

  81. Ana,I agree with you on all the details.By paying taxes it could help people in many ways.I also agree on having reasonable laws because it could have people do things differently and more reasponsibly.It could also have people have a good sense of ethics.By having a good sense of ethics it could lead to acompishments.

  87. what makes a good Goverment is the type of system you follow. For example if you lived by the system the Mesopotamians lived you would not be treated farly and you would be juged poorly.One example of a good goverment is the Ten Commandments.That is an example of a good goverment because you would treated fairly and treated with respect.So that is why having a good goverment is important because of the system you follow.

  93. A good goverment does many things.They provide jobs,taxes,laws,and schools. Jobs are important because people need to feed thier family,pay rent,and buy groceries.Taxes are important because they give money back to the community. Laws are very important because people wouldn't be doing bad things like other people. Schools are also very impportant because children and adults need their education to get a good job.This is what makes up a good goverment.

  94. There are many things that make up a good government.One thing is education.If people arent educated,people wouldnt make good decisons in law. These people would go their own ways and not care about others. Another concept that nakes a good government is laws. If they created no laws, there would be chaos in the world. The chaos would let people do their own thing even if it was a horrible thing. This is why there needs to be laws in the government. One last thing that makes a good government is having a govoner. If there was no govener, ther wouldnt be any laws in the world or any kind of power over the country at all. In conclusion, there are many things that make up a good government and many more things.

  95. In my opinion, there is no perfectly structured government. For me a good government would need teamwork. Also a good idea of what they want to have or acomplish. Teamwork is also neccesary beacause a government wouldnt be very good if there was just constant fighting. Also they should have back up plans and substitutions incase something goes wrong beacuse then something might go drastically wrong. That is what I think a goverment should have in able to be known as a good one.

  96. Many different things make up a good governmet. The collecting of taxes make up a good government. Without taxes the government wouldnt be able to public things like building highways,schools,etc. A president is the leader of a government. A president is important because they make laws. If we didnt have laws there be a lot of chaos. That is what makes up a good government.

For example, if someone did something wrong they should pay the consequences for it. In addition, what makes up a good goverment is fairness. No one should be treated better than others and everyone shouild be treated equaly. That is what makes up a good goverment.

  99. Different things make a good government.The most important is laws.Laws to follow and and also to do. Everyone needs to do and also respect the laws. It isn't good if only some people to follow the laws.Taxes are also needed in government.They are because it has to do with money.Also you need to have a president.That is what makes a good government.

  100. A good government should listen to it's people.For instance, if a person is setenced to jail, a government should set up votes to see if the public agrees.A government should do this because the people may think the criminal is inocent. Also, a good government should let anyone vote for a president. If not everyone can vote, there can not be a full count of the whole nation.It does not matter if you are different from the guy next to you, inside, we are all people. That is what makes a god government. Jorge Quezada Columbia

  101. The way to be a good government, is to make good lawsto keep people safe and to make the community a better place. For example, if you don't make laws, the whole community would be full of gangs and violence. You should also provide charity for the people who need help. People would depend on you if you were the government. They would need your support and help to survive. If you don't be a good government, the community would blame every problem on you. Like the Egyptians would blame on the pharaoh for plagues and diseases. Without the government, the whole United States would be in a violent crisis. That is what a government should do to keep the community safe from danger and violene that leads to death.

  102. I think that a good government is madeby good leaders. In a government, there are many people that lead others by making good decisions. A good government has different leaders like governers,politicians, and presidents. They make decisions that are good for others and makes them happy and safe. If you,re satisfied with the government then everyone is good to the government and they won't have to worry about the citizens rising up against their government. This way the government is running smooth and so are the citizen's lives. When the government isn't fair with the citizens then the government will end up bad. A good government is made by the wise decisions of government leaders.

  103. A good government is made up of many things.One of them is that instead of creating war they should create peace.Laws are needed for a good government.Fair laws though,because unfair laws can cause chaos.Peoples ethics would be wrong according to the law,because it isn't fair.It should also be a government that everybody likes and votes for.That is a few reasons that make up a good government.

  104. There are many a lot of ways that can make a good goverment. First way is by putting others first because a lot of goverments are selfish and greedy.Second way is telling your people the truth or else they well not trust you anymore.Third way is by giving money to the needy or poor that do need it.In addition, to make good and smart laws.For example other ggoverments make not so good laws.Also to help the states that have suffered a castrophe like Japan they had just had a earthquake and a tsnaumi.However the goverment should give to the schools for the supplies and field trips.and the goverment should also have citizenship.This is what makes a good goverment.

  109. A good goverment is a person who takes part of ruling a contry.For example, they are incharge of making sure that other people arent braking the laws .Also, if there was no laws everything would be destroyed.What I mean by that is that everything would be dead people because bad people kill for no reason.This are some reasons why there is a good govermet because if there was not a person incharge everithing would be a chaos.

  116. Goverments can fall if not good.Goverments might caus choas if not having laws,laeders or any money.Goverments also need the people to work or pay taxes.Goverments need taxes to pay for city activitys or needs.Like freeways buildings and many more things.Many goverments don't have much money like Brazil.Brazil is a third world country and don't have alot of money.Some goverments can live with not that much money.Goverments can be great but the go down becouse of money.Californi was good but we lost money and went bad.Like many countrys some can be the same.

This is what makes a good government.

If the laws are fair there will not be problems in between the people. If no fights it creates peace. Also the taxes, they should be right and fair to the people. If they are not fair the people start to argue. If arguement there will be chaos. If chaos the people go crazy.

  136. There are a lot of characteristics that make up a good government.For example showing justice.Justice can make the laws fair.Also,dictatorship does.It does because dictating has a lot to do with control.Trustworthyness is the part of a good government, too.It does much because people not involved in the government candecide if they can trust or not trust the government.These qualities are what makes up a good government.

  137. there is many elements towards having a good goverment. one example is having a fair governor. what i means is one who cares for,comment to us, and one who leads us to ethics.another example is lowering the prices in things we need and could afford. it like the payment of gas these days. instead of lowering the prices there highering the prices.a good governor gives his whole attention to us, his people. he provides us electrictity, power, gas, water and light. a good government has set of laws for his people to obey them. that makes no chaos but maybe leabership and alot of protection.

People won't like some ideas so they need someone to guide them into the good and bad.so they have a goverment that shows them ethics. So this why I think a democratic goverment is not a good idea.

  142. I think that Cleisthenes has been the most influenced by democracy. The reason I think that is because he created democracy. That’s just the main reason. The second reason is because he also was one of the first law givers. Democracy also took over that. Finally he created the concept of popular vote. Therefore, I think that Cleisthenes has been the most influenced by democracy.

  146. The three best classes that the Athens have were music,speech,writting.the Athens studied music so they can intretain themself. the Athens studied writting so they can cummunicate with other people.
