No I do not agree with Adam Smith; I believe the government’s first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives. These three are important general “duties” they do not even compare to the broad spectrum of duties that are needed to truly govern a country. A government is for the people. It does not only have three duties yes they maybe important but there is more to a government than just those three duties. A government protects people, makes everyone feel equal; try’s to satisfy every person living in that place. A government does not just want to be satisfied with what it has it want s to succeed, it doesn’t want to be mediocre it wants to be the best. If the government only had those three duties it would not be a very good government there would be chaos every where.

Not in this time and era. I would like just one person to be for the people that was elected by the people. Great leadership is non existent in today's America. All I have left to do is pick by party, and pick the lesser of the two evils. Good question.

The people have the constitutional right to change the government by voting in local and national elections.\n\nIf you mean change the form of government, say from a Republic to a monarchy, for example, no, that isn't in there.

I have to agree with you.  Isn't this government by the people for the people.  Why aren't they letting the people make the decisions?  It wouldn't be a biased vote, it would for once be an honest vote of what the people really want in this country.

is it really a privilege if our government is really 'for the people by the people? the government was put in place by the people with permission from the people to govern them. voting, therefore, is not a privilege to the people but to the government to keep it securely in place.

It depends.  Some things need to be done but people won't let it happen.  Other things people want but the gov't doesn't do it.

The government is made of individual people, so it's individual people of course.
