Rousseau(Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity)Adam Duvall
Liberty, equality, and fraternity vs. order, security, and efficiency, who would give it a second thought? I would definitely favor the liberty, equality, and fraternity way of governing because it forms a strong government with authority, but no to the point where people are being killed for disobedience against people who are part of the government and believe otherwise. People are naturally born good and depriving them of their rights is a crime. Equality under law does not create conflict between citizens and it keeps all the classes happy. Equality also makes sure all peoples rights are being enforced. Order and efficiency may at times be effective short term but does it keep your citizens happy, I think not. In the past that type of government results in revolt or revolution which can tear a country apart, while liberty and equality keeps the citizens and government honest and on the same page. So this form of government no question, is most effective. It will keep a country strong and united and all classes will have no reason to question the system.

ReplyDeleteYou stated, "Order and efficiency may at times be effective short term but does it keep your citizens happy, I think not." Are you kidding me? How will order and efficiency not keep the citizens happy? That is exactly what they want. They do not want a government that has no idea what they are doing. The citizens want the government to be organized and efficient. If it is not, it is impossible for them to get what they want. Everyone would just be running around getting things wrong left and right. The citizens would be incredibly frustrated with a disorganized government. They would never get anything they deserved and what would come from that? A revolution. Order, efficiency and security is far more important than liberty, equality, and fraternity.
