Various Roles Performed By A Government

By Loris F. Andres


A government is a very important institution. Through it, people get to live a peaceful life and conduct their day to day activities without any worry. The types of administrations present in different parts of the world vary. There are those that have been democratically elected while others have come to be by means of force or coups.

Regimes provide order to their constituents by setting up privileges and rights for all citizens. Provision of order is the first thing that each regime has to accomplish. In addition to this, they also create laws and regulations which are then enforced in a bid to keep all citizens safe.

The reason society follows the regulations and laws enacted by government officials are because society plays a role in selecting the regime of the day. This is done through elections. Elections are conducted in different times and follow different procedures as may be set out in the existing laws.

Each regime has to ensure that none of its citizens is harmed under its watch. Protection is dispensed by having the various branches of the security forces protecting citizens. The military is tasked with the duty of ensuring that citizens are not harmed by any international threats.

Local and national authorities also need to come up with some form of safety net. The safety net is there to guarantee that people do not miss out on important needs. Basic services are also provided through the safety net created by the people in power.

The stability of an economy is determined by the ability of a regime to collect tax and budget properly for it. The money collected from tax is subdivided to cities and towns in order for the authorities to deliver service. Through this, jobs are also created for all citizens.

Foreign policy has to be formulated. Since all citizens cannot be involved in its formulation, the regime in place has to do this for the country. This foreign policy will then determine how this country will interact with its neighboring friends. A country cannot survive by itself without the help of others.

Government plays a very critical role when it comes to running a country, state or even city. It is through it that laws are made, order enforced and peace maintained between the citizens. Economic wise, it ensures that citizens get to enjoy access to public services such as education while also ensuring that basic services such as food and shelter are easily available.
