The Form of Government
A Dictatorship?
Now it seems that if we had a leader who we elected who would have sole
control over the Global nation, that his or her power would be absolute.
If his or her power was absolute than the leader could declare that his
or her term would last till death. Furthermore he or she could declare
that a person of his or her own choosing would be the next to rule the
global nation. This type of power would most likely lead away from the
people's rights and freedoms because, the dictator could then declare what
ever suited him or her self. In many instances the dictator's choices would
not coincide with what the majority of the people want.
A Senate of Representatives?
The next possible type of government to look at would be a senate of representatives
of the nation states. These representatives who would be elected would
then be able to declare that their terms would last till death. This senate
could also go further by saying that each member would be replaced by a
person of his or her own choosing. Again this seems to be a type of government
that would work for themselves. If further looked at, it is possible even
to say that they would have all the people do as those few "representatives"
wanted. In many ways that defeats the representational government's purpose,
that of being representatives of the people.
Judges?
A third possible government would be a government in which all the rules
were laid out and then judges would be selected to implement them. As the
times change a need for new laws will occur. The Judges would have no power
to create such laws. As an example, imagine if this was done with a country
before guns were invented. If a gun law or regulation was necessary to
keep children from buying guns the judges could not make one. So yet again
we must move on to another form of government.
A President and a Senate?
Another possible government would be one in which there was one elected
leader and a body of representatives. If such a government was formed than
it would be unlikely that the two groups would agree to have terms of office
that lasted till death because, they would want to fight for the support
of the people. To fight for the support of the people they would pass laws
that were helpful to the people. Although this fighting is possible, it
would not nessacrily last forever. In the end, the leader and the body
of representatives would form a selfish alliance so that they can best
get what they want.
A President and Judges?
Yet another possible government would be one in which there was an elected
official with a group of judges. If these judges were elected people who
had not trained their entire lives to be a judge would become judges. This
would happen because, the people vote for who the like, and think will
be helpful. The people would not vote for judges who were well trained
because, the people who know the laws the best are not always the ones
who seem the best to vote for. If the elected leader choose the judges
than the judges would be the people most likely to stand by the elected
leader.
A Senate and Judges?
The sixth possible form of government would be a government with judges
and a senate of representatives. The same problems will occur with this
form of government as the ones that appeared in the form of government
with judges and an elected leader. These problems will occur because, the
senate of representatives would work as one entity. Such an entity would
obviously want to protect and tend it it's own interests. Yet again we
have not found a suitable government.
A President with a house of representatives and a Supreme Court?
The next possible government would be one that had an elected leader, a
representational body, and a court system of Judges. Since most people
are familiar with the United States, which has this form of government
we should analyze it's government. It has a series of checks and balances
that are made to keep all three branches of government equal in power.
These checks and balances have failed because of the political party system
that now exists in the United States. The President belongs to a specific
political party which he has allegiance to. Almost all members of the United
States House of Representatives are members of a political party in which
they have allegiance to. To stay a member of a party a person must do the
bidding of that party. If a United States politician loses the support
of a party, then they lose the powerful backing of the party that usually
gets a member into office, therefore the politician will do the bidding
of the party. The United States is currently dominated by two political
parties, that of the Democrats and that of the Republicans. If the house
of representatives has a majority of a specific party then that party's
views will be the ones used to make decisions. The judges in the United
States do have life long terms, and so they do not need the support of
a political party after they have a position as a judge. So it can be said
that the house of representatives and the president are only puppets of
their political party.
The Problem of Political Parties
If the United States house of representatives and the president are of
the same party then, they will do as there party asks. In effect such a
time would put two-thirds of the United States government under the power
of one political power. The United States would then be a dictatorship
headed by the political party. Such a dictatorship would work for it's
own self interests, and not the interests of the people. To get around
such a problem a law would have to be made. This law would have to be a
law that could not be taken out by the president or by the house of representatives.
This law would forbid all global nation office candidates and holders from
being a part of a political party whether membership was or was not secret.
The law would also have to prevent office holders and candidates from being
part of a political party that is disguised with a title that differs from
that of political party.
Conclusion
So finally the possibility has occurred to conclude this essay by stating
that the form of government should have a house of representatives, a president
and a system of judges. This three branch government must have a law that
prevents political parties from being formed. To further see acclaim of
this type of government please read the Federalist
Papers by James Madison. Also the possibility exists to read that George
Washington had warned the United States to stay away from political parties,
therefore concluding this essay.
