A nation without a government is one that is difficult for someone who has always lived under one to imagine. This can make it hard to truly envision what the outcome of this scenario would be. Though it may sound good in theory, an ungoverned state would eventually result in chaos and disarray. If the United States were to do away with its governing body, many things would change. We would no longer have parameters for what is and isn’t allowed. Any act that would previously result in legal repercussions would now have no official consequence. This would increase the frequency of crime, and in turn cause individuals to inflict their own punishments on those who they feel have acted unjustly. With no set definition of what constitutes an illegal act and no set consequence for one such act, the crime would rarely, if ever, fit the punishment. Along with this lack of crime prevention, businesses and corporations would also not be regulated. The minimum wage would be done away with, and there would be no limits on prices or working conditions. Workers would be underpaid and overworked, even more than they are now. The rich would become richer, and the poor would become poorer. Along with this, those living in poverty would no longer receive financial support. Though our current government is flawed, to completely do away with it would be a significant over-correction.
I agree with your statement. Without a government, clean water would be difficult to regulate and distribute. I also agree that bigger conflicts would break out over smaller issues. Health care would definitely be hurt. This would most likely lead to anarchy and chaos, as you said.
I am probably a good person but I haven't taken the time to fill out my profile, so you'll never know! |
