History
1 answer:

8 0

Answer: To ensure the President is not lying to the people.

Explanation:

The State of the Union is a very important speech by the President and acts as an official update on the affairs of the country. As a democracy, it is important that ordinary Americans know what is going on in their country.

This is why it is important that whatever the President says is fact-checked to ensure that they are not misleading the nation on how the United States is doing. The people deserve to know the truth so that they may decide whether to keep going with the current administration or whether a change is needed.

Fact-checking the State of the Union can even be said to be a patriotic act as it ensures that the country is being fed the facts.

Paraphin [41]
The Founding Fathers created the U.S. government to have numerous checks and balances as well as a VERY limited central (federal) government. They did this to prevent a relapse of the tyranny (hence “absolute power”) they dealt with under the British Empire. The American colonies were essentially meant to serve the mother nation (Britain), but the colonists braved the journey to America to establish a new, freer nation with religious freedom as its top priority.
To prove this quote is still relevant today, it’s not unknown that when humans acquire power, it’s very easy for them to abuse that power. Examples of this would be the oligarchies we see in Russia and China with a very small amount of people in power living in a lap of luxury while everyone else lives a subpar life.
