Political View

America was founded on the idea of having the freedom and liberty to govern themselves. The only problem with the idea of a government by the people is that not all of the people take their responsibility to give their input by voting. For the reason that, the United States of America is such a large and diversely populated nation we must have structure, chains of command, and a way for people to be governed in order for there to be organization and so everyone’s voice can be heard. 

America is known as a melting pot full of all races and religions. Naturally not everyone’s view on political issues are going to be complimentary, so there must be a system for all citizens to have the opportunity to their voice considered among the masses. In order for everyone to be heard there must be a person to listen to them and extend their voice up the chain of command. There should be a person to represent a set number of people and holistically represent their views to those who can put them into action. These representative should be elected by the people they are representing! 

For all major decisions that will greatly affect the economics and or safety of the United States should be decided by all United States citizen. There should be a system in which all citizens can voice their opinion quickly and efficiently and the major decisions will be made based on the ideas of the largest percentage of the country.

I believe that a country should be run by it’s people! The best way for this to work is that each citizen takes their responsibility seriously and thinks critically about the decisions they make. Each decision made has consequences and people should consider all the ways those decisions will affect the country as a whole.
