Limited and Unlimited Governments
By Dylan
Limited governments give citizens more control on how they shape their local environment and policy. It also gives a stronger free market system so that the citizenry have more opportunity for real success. Limited is based on the use of a written document that strictly limits the power of government. This system generally includes institutional checks that insure that the government does not over step its bounds. An example of limited is the first amendment, prohibiting the government to restrict our freedom of speech.
An unlimited government is a government in which no limits are imposed of the rulers’ authority. The leaders don’t have to follow the same laws as everyone else. Unlimited government often comes about by military force, with a group of people using violence to establish political power. It can be established through a democratic election, but then sustained by force. Unlimited is when a single person or group of people has total power to rule over geographical area. They can decide laws without permission from these they rule, and are free to break laws, since they answer to no one. They can force citizens to comply with their wishes, and no higher authority exists to challenge them. Some examples of unlimited are the government of Nazi Germany (1933 - 1945) under Adolf Hitler, also the regime was democratically elected, but once in power in modern history.

Citizen Roles

UNLIMITED GOVERNMENT
In North Korea the government controls almost every part of the citizens life. They have no freedom of speech or press. Although they have freedom of religion most are far more loyal to Kim II Sung. North Korea has no freedom to chat and gather together on the road. They are also sometimes forced to move from their homes and go all the way across the country to a new house. Voting is a demonstration of a political democracy other than a competitive democracy. 100% of the North Koreans participate that are 17 and older vote. Only one candidate runs for office, they vote yes or no. Some North Koreans try to flee and escape to China but if they are caught Chinese officials hand them back to North Koreas government. These refugees and defectors are usually tortured imprisoned or killed. If one person in a family is punished there whole family is punished. They also like to rank families by there loyalty

There are three different kinds of citizens and each plays a different role in their community and country. The first one is a personally responsible citizen here are a few things a personally responsible citizen does they, pay taxes, keep their property clean, and obey the laws of the U.S.A. They give canned food to help community efforts, or donate money. They try to be honest, fair, respectful, and kind. Participatory citizens are more active in the problems they have in their community. The serve on committees and organize community events. They look after fellow citizens, and make events for people to work together. Some events they organize are blood drives, block parties, and sometimes serve on the city council. The last one is a justice-oriented citizen. They are concerned with what’s going on in their community. They have a good eye for the social, economic, and political reasons for a conflict. They push for specific changes to address a conflict at its source. A personally responsible citizen might donate a coat, and a participatory citizen might run the coat drive a justice-oriented citizen would ask why they’re homeless in the first place and try’s to fix the problem at its source. They’re concerned about social justice and try to make their community better.
