"The legitimate object of government is to do for a community of people whatever they need to have done but cannot do at all, or cannot so well do for themselves in their separate and individual capacities. But in all that people can individually do for themselves, government ought not to interfere." —Abraham Lincoln, 1854 Do you agree or disagree with Lincoln's view of the proper role of government?

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

I agree with Lincoln's view of the proper role of government in that the government should be of service to all the citizens. That is why in a modern democracy such as the one in the United States, it is the citizens the ones who have the right to vote and elect their President and their representatives. Then, these representatives have to create the laws and legislation that protects and benefits the citizens, never to benefit the particular agendas of powerful interest groups.

The citizens have to respect and obey laws and support the government's decisions if the government is doing a good job to promote the economy and the creation of jobs.

You can either agree or object to any view. To the statement of Abraham Lincoln, I strongly agree.

  • This Abraham Lincoln's view of the proper role of government is very true as government should provide for its people what they cannot provide for themselves majorly in the aspect of good roads, hospitals etc. and not put themselves in doing minor roles that the people can do themselves.

The legitimate object of government helps to balance the division of labor and also help government to focus on what is needful for the people.
