The word Constitution come from a Latin word “CONSTITUTIS” and means to set up or to establish. A Constitution is a written plan which set up a form of government and establishes its basic governing principles. A constitution may be a statement of agreed-upon principles for a club, an organization or a state. – World History and Cultures in Christian Perspective.

One important aspect of history is the development of governmental structure through the ages. Government is the institution that has both the authority to control, direct, and rule in the actions and affairs of others.

– World History and Cultures in Christian Perspective.

The power and authority that government possesses comes from God. Because God is sovereign. (That God is the supreme power over all the nations, rulers and individuals) All governments and their respective behavior are accountable to God. – World History and Cultures in Christian Perspective.

The sovereignty of God over the nations is the foundation of human government. It is declared throughout the bible. God established civil government by ordering the death penalty (capital punishment) for murder. – World History and Cultures in Christian Perspective.

In establishing this first foundational civil ordinance, God again taught man the sanctity of human life and ordained that man set up systems of law and justice for the restraint of evil. – World History and Cultures in Christian Perspective.

God did not tell men what form of Government to establish, but He did command His people to be obedient to civil authority.

STREAMLINING THE BUREACRACY

From The study of the bureaucracy and its dysfunctions shows that over the years the national government has increasingly expanded its role and control of societal activities to the point of stifling the private sector, while being generally ineffective in its basic governance functions and sectoral operations. – Presidential Committee on Streamlining the Bureacracy Department of Budget and Management, 1995

The most visible dysfunctions include:

a. Extensive direct production activities, where the national government assumes direct responsibility even for the production of private goods.

The most visible dysfunctions include:

b. Pervasive regulations in the various sectors.

The most visible dysfunctions include:

c. Overcentralized government operations, where even the production and delivery of local public goods are still done primarily by the central government.

The most visible dysfunctions include:

d. Weak basic governance functions, visible in the poor peace and order condition and slow system of justice.

The most visible dysfunctions include:

e. Inefficient bureaucracy, manifested in duplication, proliferation and overlapping of functions, large overhead expenditures and poor public services.

Good government can no longer be achieved simply by working more, harder, longer, and faster. Effective governance can no longer be realized simply by assuming the main responsibility for all societal concerns. Efficient government administration can no longer be maintained simply by correcting the superficial symptoms of a dysfunctioning bureaucracy.
