Government Subject to Moral Judgement?
December 6, 2008
Everyone should be subject to Moral Judgement, even the government. Even though we transfer some of our rights to the government so they can, enforce the laws of the land but that doesn’t mean we give them full authority to do as they please with those rights. We as people need to make sure that our government is not taking advantages of the rights that we have given them. Because in reality we gave them the rights to enforce the law so we should make sure that they are enforcing laws ethically and morally. I believe they should be subject to less moral judgement, rather no judgement. If we did not morally judge the government the government can become too powerful, and ask us to do things that are immoral. or go out and do immoral things, without being able to be stopped. so we need a balance were the governing party is just right for the party it’s governing.
Everyone should be held to moral accountability. I think that because we turn some of our rights over to the government they believe that they are invincible and do not have to answer to anyone. Somethings that may be private become public. It’s a part of the job, you and I as regular citizens may be able to commit adultery and eventually get over it. Bill Clinton as good a man as he was couldn’t get off that easily.
I agree peoples individual actions are all subject to the contract. Although the sovereign may have the power to use the invested right to protect the country he must still obey the contract in his personal life.
