What Should be the Goals of Government The Constitution has six main goals. Form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the coomon defense, promote the general welfare. and secure the blessings of liberty. Simply the goals of government should be to protect the citizens by controling the army, protect our peace, and protect the citizens' right to own. The government must protect all of the citizens because if they did not then we would have to fend for ourselves. The government is the one who organize arm and discipline militia and raise and support the army and navy. If the government did not control the army and navy then the most likely people that would control it would be weapon manufacturers and who knows how that could go. With an army they could control the country and try to rule. Keeping control of the army would also keep us safe to. Controlling the army is part of keeping our peace but there is more to it then that. To keep us safe and to ensure our peace the government has made laws that protect us. Now the laws do not protect us them self but it gives everyone guidelines or rules that must be followed and when they are followed we will be safe. The government should also protect the things that we have and earned. If we can not keep what we have then the people will not like it because the will not have the stuff they earned which could disrupt our peace. The government has done a good job controlling teh country. The U.S.A. started out with 13 states and now has 50 stated because of the way the government has runed
