Role of Government

The role of government involves creating and enforcing laws, providing public services, and protecting citizens' rights. In terms of political obligation, it refers to the moral duty of citizens to obey laws and support the government when it acts in their best interest. This relationship is based on a social contract: citizens agree to follow rules in exchange for safety, stability, and services. When the government fails to fulfill its responsibilities, citizens may question their obligation to comply, highlighting the importance of accountability and responsiveness in governance for maintaining trust and cooperation.
