I am posting a question for a final project in my College English class. It will be a study on people’s varying opinions on political philosophy. I believe that all political issues boil down to a point of how much power a government should have. I have devised a scale to measure how much power a government has. It is a 0-100 scale, 0 being a government that has no control over its people, or total anarchy, 100 being a government that has total control over all aspects of its citizens’ lives. I am asking for your “number” or what you believe a government’s power level should be. It would be greatly appreciated if you could comment with at least a number. If you also choose I would accept any explanations on your number or any other issues you choose to raise. Also, in order to find trends, if you could state your sex, ethnicity, and country of origin, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
 
25. Government should get some say, but at the end of the day the power should still belong to the people.
 
Great question. In my opinion, 'the people' and the govt. should work together as a democracy, (not seen in America in at least several decades.) Govt tends to get corrupt when they gain the upper hand, abusing it's power & creating criminals. IE: North Korea, Cuba, Nazi Germany, Haiti, & soon the US & modern world.
I'd say 60% the people, / 40% govt.. We need to be lead, but not like sheep.
