We make the laws which reflect our moral and ethical codes of conduct or lack thereof. If we were perfect, there would be no need for laws or government.

This statement by James Madison argues that men are not perfect, and that human nature can be flawed. He believes government exists in order to control and limit the impact of these flaws.

One example is the separation of powers. The principle of the separation of powers states that power must be divided among different branches of government. The branches limit and control each other, and safeguard against the abuse of a tyrant. If people were not corrupted by power, or did not have a tendency to abuse power for their own gain, then the separation of powers would not be necessary. However, because human nature is flawed, these measures are necessary in government.

All government spending comes directly from taxes.

Explanation:

The chief way the government gets the money it spends is through taxation. ...

It would strengthen the navy and enable the U.S to guard its colonies. I believe the building of the Panama Canal was in time of Imperialism (not 100% sure), where countries were trying to take over smaller or weaker countries to accumulate more power.
