A. John Locke


In Locke's Two Treatises of Civil Government, he stated that <em>"...no government can exists without the consent of the governed and that the primary purpose of the state was to protect the rights of the citizen." </em>

In other words, the government that we the people have set in place, is only in place to ensure that our rights remain with us. Any violation of this "agreement" would be going against what the government stands for, and therefore gives the citizens the right to overthrow it, and create a new government that will protect their rights.

This of course, is the central idea of the right-wing political parties today, and is the root of their idea of a limited government. It was also why the Anti-Federalists back in the day were afraid of giving the government too much power. For if the government becomes to powerful, they may choose to go against this idea, and take away rights of their citizens, which is what happens with authoritarian regimes.

Answer:

It would be futile to try to recognize or refute any of the poem's appearances of bigotry against non-white people because it is so common, ingrained, and over-the-top.However, it's worth noting how Kipling's bigotry blinded him to the truth of white imperialists—and, one may argue, to the white race—that "The White Man's Burden" so reveres. There is no truthful experience of colonization or imperialism that can characterize European or American imperialism's motivations or consequences as being inspired by selfless benevolence or having solely positive effects.From the devastation and enslavement of indigenous peoples in the Americas to the slave trade that developed out of European colonialism in Africa, to the uniquely rapacious and corrupt activities of the Belgian Congo, to the profit, strength, and national pride that Britain gained from its empire, on which it gloatingly exulted "the sun never set," white imperialism was never solely motivated by self-interest.

You can either talk about police, education (school), highway building, or how taxes are used to pay for all those services. And then explain how whatever service you chose affects your family. Like for example, highway building can cause you or your parents to have to leave earlier because of detours. Or with taxes you can talk about how it puts your family on a budget.
