Governments are created to make rules and regulations that affect the citizens in may different ways.

Governments help protect human basic rights. Governments are there to protect you from invaders or people who want to violate basic rights. We need a government to make us feel more safe or public policy's to help us feel safe.

We created governments to keep us protected and safe. It helps by creating and enforcing rules to maintain order.

we have a form of goverment because we want structure and order. if we didn't we would have no rules and there would be more fighting

We create government so we don't have a total anarchy. We would have barley any buildings do to people blowing everything up.

Government is the way to keep everybody's needs met. its supposed to be an all inclusive way to have  the people who live under a government be  content with solving their problems.

Government is here to keep order.Also government gives us our rights and keep us safe .

People create governments in order to advance as a society, as well as keeping order and enforcing the morals of the government. Government is almost an inherit byproduct of human interaction and social constructs.

Government is created because people would rather give up some personal freedoms as a group to ensure the safety of the group.

Government as created in order to instill order . Government is an okay thing but maybe needs to be reviewed

I think that we need a government because if we didn't have one our county wouldn't be one the major powers today. We would also have a lot of poverty and not as many jobs.

government is the over all ruling body of a group of people. the government establishes rules, laws, and regulations for the people to follow based on that governments beliefs. often times these rules and laws are created to keep the people in its ruling body safe and protected.

Government is a way of keeping the state in check, and not letting things get out of control by establishing laws and rules to set regulations for the citizens. These rules help regulate crime, set pay rates for citizens, driving regulations, and other things to maintain equality and fairness and not let one side of the spectrum have an edge over the other. Most of our ideas for a democracy came from Thomas Hobbes and John Locke, but also from failed governments before ours. For instance, the rise and fall of a dictatorship in Germany stated that absolute power never gave the citizens a say in how the country should be ran. Communism also didn't give the individual a say in government regulations, demanding government control of the open market

I believe people create government originally to protect people's rights and give them protection. We get our ideas of government sometimes from other countries or from writings such as Locke's and Hobbes'. Even though sometimes governments don't do what they promise, they are put in place to protect people and their rights.

I believe that government was created as a way to keep daily life together. While I personally do not agree with the government 80% of the time, I do believe government is needed to keep things in order. Personally, our government is not doing it's job at all and I firmly believe a lot of things need to change before anyone can agree 100% with the government we have in place at the moment. While created for the people, it was created by the wrong people who believe they know what's best for people they do not understand.

We have governments to advance as a society and prevent anarchy. As Thomas Hobbes explained, if there is no government to create rules and regulations then everyone would be too afraid to create anything new (like art, farms, and inventions) due to the fear of it being stolen.

I believe government was created to give order to many citizens who couldn't find a good way to lead. If there was no kind of government many people would be lost.

John Locke was an inspiration to our founding fathers. He made our rights come true and hopes that we can keep them and not have them taken away. Thomas Hobbes believed in a king should only have power and people should give up their rights. Even though he thought like this he is still remembered as influencing the U.S constitution.

We need government, if we did not have a government we would be lost. If we did not have a government we would have any rules to follow and the world wouldn't be very organized and there would be a lot of bad people out. We would be lost without a government.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that we have a government, because the government responds to some of those in need and if we didn't have a government they would be left for themselves to problem solve it. Yeah the government isn't all perfect. I also believe that we have a government so the people's voices can be protected. Lastly, the government has a sense of bringing order to the country within the diverse groups we have.

Government is set into a society in order to create structure, order, and morals. Without said government, the people would not have a specified set of morals to follow (these are based on the laws deciding what is good and what is not), a structure, a currency, etc. that can create chaos and much crime. yes, this happens anyway, but without government to enforce no crime, it becomes rampant in the society. Government creates a sense of security, and eventually falls into place.

I think people created government because they wanted order. People don't necessarily want to be ruled, but it is hard to keep order and prosperity without any form of rule.

# data[].attributes.body
if their is no government then everyone will be lost. their will be no laws to follow and no one will care about the others. the government helps keep everyone safe and helps protect our rights.
