Explain how the government is both a consumer and a producer.

Social Studies
1 answer:
Fittoniya [83]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

One of the ways that the government can become a consumer is that in its construction projects, they are dependent on manufacturers of cement, gravels, and others. There are still lots and lots of examples of this. Then, a way that it becomes the producer is when it lets the citizens pay for all the permits. They produce the permits and actually earn money from it. They use this money for different projects.

If you can make your own state what would be the geographic distribution of power with your government?
shtirl [24]

Answer:In addition to the type, or form of government

that exists in a society, there are other factors

that play a role in the overall function of a

government, including the geographic

distribution of power, and the relationship

between the legislative and executive branch.

Geographic Distribution of Power

In every system of government the power to

govern is located in one or more places

geographically. From this standpoint, three

basic structures exist: unitary, federal, and

confederate.

Unitary Government

A unitary government is often described as a

centralized government. All powers held by the

government belong to a single, central agency.

The central (national) government creates local

units of government for its convenience. Those

local governments have only those powers that

the central government chooses to give them.

Most governments in the word are unitary in

form. Great Britain is a classic example. It has a

single central organization, the Parliament,

holding all of the government’s power. Local

governments exist solely to relieve Parliament

of the tasks that would be difficult or

burdensome to do. Though unlikely, Parliament

could get rid of those agencies of local

government at any time if it wanted to.

Be careful not to confuse a unitary government

with a dictatorship. In the unitary government

all forms of power are held by the central

government, but that government can still

elected by the people, and if so, would only

have the powers that the people allowed it to

have. So, a government could be both unitary

and democratic.

Federal Government

A federal government is one in which the

powers of government are divided between a

central government and several local

governments. An authority superior to both the

central and local governments make this

division of powers on a geographic basis, which

cannot be changed by either the local or

national level alone. Both levels of government

act directly on the behalf of the people through

their own sets of laws, officials, and agencies.

In the United States, for example, the Federal

Government has certain powers, and the 50

individual states have others. This division of

powers is set out in the Constitution. The

Constitution stands above both levels of

government and cannot be changed unless the

people agree to that change.

Australia, Switzerland, Canada, Mexico,

Germany, India, and some 20 other stats also

have federal forms of government today. In the

United States, the term ‘Federal Government’ is

often used to refer to the National Government,

but note that the 50 state governments are

unitary in structure, not federal.

Confederate Government

A confederation is an alliance of independent

states. A central organization, the confederate

government, only handles those matters that

the state assigns to it. Typically, confederate

governments hold limited powers in such fields

as defense and foreign commerce.

Most often, the confederacy has not had the

power to make laws that apply directly to

individuals, at least not without some further

action by the member states. A confederate

structure makes it possible for the several

states to cooperate in matters of common

concern and also retain their separate

identities.

Confederations are very rare in today’s world.

The Confederate States of America (1861-1865)

are one example in past times. A possible

modern example is the European Union (EU),

which is an assembly of 28 nations, mostly in

Europe. Through its institutions, the EU has

established free trade among its members,

launched a common currency (the Euro), and

coordinates the foreign trade and defense

policies of its members. Recently in news,

United Kingdom voted to remove itself, or exit,

from the EU for more independence, a situation which was often referred to as “Brexit”.

babunello [35]

Answer:

1.John B. Gordon

Gordon rose to fame in the Confederate Army due to his fearless fighting style and made his mark as a military strategist. Gordon fought in several important battles and rose to the rank of major general at the end of the war. After the war, Gordon returned to Georgia where he was an outspoken opponent of Reconstruction and is thought to have been the leader of the Georgia chapter of the KKK. Gordon was elected as a U.S. Senator in 1872 and served in this position until 1880. Gordon was popular among white Georgians and was elected governor in 1886 and back to the U.S. Senate in 1891, serving until 1897. Gordon spent the rest of his life writing and speaking about the Civil War, and, it has been said, embellishing his role in it.
