I see here that you have stated that, “there would be no crime due to there being no laws.” Laws were originally made to stop crime, not create it. Some could argue that, since there are laws saying that people can’t do things, they actually urge people to actually go out and do it. This may be true in scenarios of lower risk, but when jail time or fines are faced, the only people going out and committing crime are the desperate people that would go out and do it either way. As for the other people, if there was no consequence for their “wrong” actions, then they would feel no guilt or resistance doing them. Therefore, having a society where there were no laws would lead to chaos and even more crime. After time, people may even start to depend on crime for a living, since there is no way to make a fair living anymore. This all being said, I think that it is fair to say that laws are made to stop crime, and there would be even more crime if we didn’t have a government and laws to support and regulate us.
There are many reasons why government is necessary. A government’s job is to keep a country running smoothly, structurally, and without conflict therefore it is definitely necessary. To further explain, one example can be how products are made. Today the U.S. government provides rules and safety guidelines put in place to keep Americans safe. For example, without the government, products that are potentially harmful would be able to be released to the public without permission. People could buy these products and hurt themselves. The government also provides safety guidelines on other things too.. Without these guidelines, water would be unclean and unsanitary, food could be poisoned or raised improperly, and the air could be filled with levels of pollutants unsafe for humans. The United States’ government also provides public services. These include: firefighters, road pavers and DOT workers, water purifiers, and garbage pickup. Without these, the world would be much more unsanitary and unsafe. Finally, living under a government is a positive because the government enforces some human regulations. These stop people from doing whatever they want to do and they also prevent total chaos. Similar to this, the government also gives everyone equal and basic rights. These include the freedom of speech, protection from unreasonable searches and seizures, etc. In the end, living under a government is essential and there are many reasons to support it.
