Duties And Roles Of Government

Thursday, January 2, 2014

Each country in the world has its own government. Even though administrations exist all over the world, they can be very different from one country to the next. Administrations exist at various levels; country, state, counties and even major towns and cities have their own set of management teams. These teams owe their citizens certain duties and responsibilities.

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.

Another duty that must be performed is that of offering protection. Citizens must be protected from all types of threats. Threats can take different forms ranging from hunger, war to terrorism. A regime must have measures in place to make sure that all these threats are neutralized.

Administrations also provide a safety net for its citizens. The safety net is provided by ensuring that access to basic amenities is made possible. Sanitation for instance is a service that all members ought to have access to regardless of their age, religion or sexual orientation.

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 is another issue that only a good regime can handle. Foreign policy dictates how a country gets to interact with its neighbors. Interactions between countries are of a diverse nature and range from military training all the way to economic activities.

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.
