The founding fathers thought about efficiency in a government in the following way. They believed it was really important to work in a competent way, but that efficiency and order weren't as important as the liberty of people. For this reason, they included systems in the Constitution to limit the power of the government to avoid authoritarianism.

Since they believed that one of the main purposes of the Constitution was to provide and secure general welfare, as well as to create a strong and united nation that preserved individual rights (like the Bill of Rights), they decided to use two systems.

On one hand, "separation of powers". The government's power was divided into three different branches (legislative, executive and judicial).

On the other hand, they added a system of internal checks between the three powers called "Checks and Balances", to prevent and ensure that no branch could dominate over the other.

First of all, efficiency means the ability to being able to do something successfully with no wasting energy or time.

The founding fathers thought that order and effiency were important but they were not as powerful as liberty of the individuals. So even if the Constitution should be ruled by those aspects some blocks were needed to govern and take out aut authoritarianism.

How can governments both harm and help there people?
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

Governments can be run and managed well or poorly based on leaders in charge- look at explanation

Explanation:

A government can usually dictate to some degree what people do. So if the government passes a law that bans a certain race or gender from doing a certain thing, whether it be applying for a job, or eating at a certain restaurant, then the government is limiting human rights. This, morally to us as a modern society as seen as a bad thing because it judges people based on things they cannot change, instead of things people can change like attitude or character. Now lets say a government decided to pass a law that provided healthcare or education for its people. This would be a good thing because people who become educated or maintain their health will most likely be beneficial to the society that they are a part of.
