"The legitimate object of government is to do for a community of people whatever they need to have done but cannot do at all, or

cannot so well do for themselves in their separate and individual capacities. But in all that people can individually do for themselves, government ought not to interfere." —Abraham Lincoln, 1854 Do you agree or disagree with Lincoln's view of the proper role of government? Explain your answer.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

I agree with Lincoln's view of the proper role of government in that the government should be of service to all the citizens. That is why in a modern democracy such as the one in the United States, it is the citizens the ones who have the right to vote and elect their President and their representatives. Then, these representatives have to create the laws and legislation that protects and benefits the citizens, never to benefit the particular agendas of powerful interest groups.

The citizens have to respect and obey laws and support the government's decisions if the government is doing a good job to promote the economy and the creation of jobs.
