Trust in Government

Trust in government refers to the confidence citizens have in their government institutions and leaders to act in the public's best interest. It involves belief in the government's ability to deliver services, uphold laws, and protect rights. High trust can lead to greater public cooperation and civic engagement, while low trust can result in skepticism, disengagement, and unrest. Factors influencing trust include transparency, accountability, effectiveness, and responsiveness. When people feel their needs are met and their voices heard, trust in government strengthens, fostering a more stable and effective society.
