The shape of American government is based on the English political idea of?
American government is based on the English political idea of three different types of governments mixed into one. Ordered government is government laws that are clearly stated with specific punishments if broken for the people, limited government has rules that are made by government but the people have clearly stated rights and representative government where the government is suppose to serve the will of the people and come up with laws together.
What idea comes from the enlightenment and is reflected into the constitution?
Political power ultimately rests with the people, not the government.
What purpose do governments serve?
According to John Adams the purpose of government is to work for the common good of the people. To protect, serve, and make sure the people have what is needed for life. We have lost the " common good" idea and instead it seems that every interest group wants what they want.
Which idea is central democracy in the US?
All the men were created equal. They should take part in the government. The government is from people, and for people. If it does not work for the good of peplpe who elected them it can be removed.
Why was John Lock's belief that government exist to serve the people considered a radical idea?
The idea at the time was that rulers were put in place in order to better the country or by the divine selection of God. This led to the thought that if the leader was trying to better our country or if God has put him there, i need to do my part to help him, so people existed to support the government. Locke challenged this idea, thus making his belief a radical idea.
