What is a Government?
• Government is the institution through which the state maintains social order, provides public service, national security, and enforces public policy
• Public policy is all of the goals a government sets and the various courses of action it pursues as it attempts to realize these goals.

How do we begin to discuss what is government and why do we have government?
Our modern day thought on government originated with the ideas of Aristotle a scholar in ancient Greece. He studied and debated the ideas of POLIS (Greek City-State), POLITICS (Process), DEMOCRACY (People Rule) and REPUBLIC (Representative Government).

Comes from the Latin word “to stand” . Today “state” represents a “political
community” that is organized. There are over 200 “states” in the world
today. In the United States our nation is a “state”
and we are organized into 50 “states”. “Nation” is a group of people tied
together by race, language, culture, custom, tradition and even religion.
