Question

3. Name two advantages to limiting terms of government offices:

Answer 1

Answer:

Two advantages of limiting terms of government offices are to curb corruption and increase public accountability.

Explanation:

Limiting the term that public officials can serve in government positions can make the administration of public offices more transparent because it discourages corruption as no official is seated for very long in any one public office.  The rules and regulations are kept transparent and no one can change the terms of administration to favor themselves for longer terms in office.  One of the disadvantages is that long term policy decisions are less likely to be implemented and public officials build less expertise in state administration. There can also be talented administrators who have to leave their positions because of the term limits and this is a loss of talent for the state.
