M0 DQ_Intro to American Government

Q 1. What would life be like in a state of nature, and WHY? (How would we treat each other? Would it be chaotic with no government to control us, or could we get along without a government to tell us what to do?) Make sure you give some thought to the "why" part of the question as you formulate your answer. 2. Given your answer to the first question, what sort of government would be best? Do we need a powerful government to control us, or should the powers of the government be very limited and specific? What rights should people living in this government have, if any, to challenge the decisions of the government?

According to me, life in the state of nature would be free but chaotic. It would be free because there will be no one to tell us what we should do or not and who should take education or not. There would be no racism and everyone will be equal and there will be no divisions and no one will be prohibited to say what they feel or do what they like. But the consequences of this type of uncontrolled freedom can lead to chaos. When people will be free to do anything they want they will be hurting some people either from their word or from their actions but no one will be there to guide them.
