You believe that a smaller, less intrusive government will lead to increased individual freedom, personal responsibility, and economic prosperity.
Limited government is a political ideology that emphasizes the minimal intervention of the government in the affairs of individuals and society. It is rooted in the belief that the primary role of the government should be to protect the rights and freedoms of its citizens, rather than controlling or directing their lives. This ideology is often associated with classical liberalism and libertarianism, which advocate for individual liberty, free markets, and minimal state intervention.
The concept of limited government has its roots in ancient and medieval political philosophy. However,…

In what ways do you think social norms and behaviors would shift if there were fewer governmental influences?
@9KDKKCSLibertarian1yr1Y
If there were fewer governmental influences society MAY go down hill.
@9KDLLJZ1yr1Y
the ways i think social norms & behaviors would shift if there were fewer governmental influences is some would shift go down and others would improve by going up and achieving their benefits.
@9KDL4WC1yr1Y
I think their could be benefits but also a lot of negatives
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What innovative solutions can you imagine emerging in a community with fewer regulations and restrictions?
@9JCG66GIndependent 1yr1Y
In areas where there are few people, there is an opportunity for self-governing communities; however, we need government to mitigate us when we live in the vastly populated and diverse expanse of our nation.
@9JDY69H1yr1Y
The previous answer is terribly vague.
"In areas where there are few people, there is an opportunity for self-governing communities"
How is this related to innovative solutions emerging ?
@9JCH8BR1yr1Y
A more "limited government" could cause more innovative solutions within communities such as a push for the prioritization of paying off U.S. debt being paid for by encouraged tourist opportunities.
@9JCGZSD1yr1Y
I don't think that limited government means fewer regulations and restrictions rather fewer people making things to restrict and regulate.
@9JCGYJSRepublican1yr1Y
More technological and medical advancments along with better relationships with law enforment
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What innovative methods could schools adopt to ensure quality education without state curriculum standards?
@9KL9XP61yr1Y
Give schools more money in order to give them better materials to learn with and learn properly.
@9KNCR2Y1yr1Y
Many schools are underfunded because of standardized testing. They are given less money to work with so they cut cost on some subjects to do better on the ones they did bad in last time making them do bad in the other ones.
@9KLC27T1yr1Y
In countries which have implemented free college education for it's citizens, their educators are required to have a masters degree in education. This, in turn, brings about higher test scores, higher quality schools, and an overall more successful education system which benefits citizens in every industry.
If we are not able to implement the same educational system, just allowing educators to curate standards at a local and state level that work for individual school systems would greatly benefit the current education system. Having as many limitations on education as there are now have driven educators out of the industry in droves and damaged our educational success in dangerous ways.
@9KL9W2H1yr1Y
Rigorous teacher programs could be a way to ensure that teachers teach quality education without becoming biased. Also, increasing teachers' wages could be an effective incentive for better education.

Geography and world history economics and culinary

How would you personally contribute to a clean environment if there were no governmental regulations in place?
@9JNZB9H1yr1Y
I have stopped eating beef and chicken because of the cruel environment that the animals lived in before the slaughter and because beef sucks for the environment. I would clean beaches. Try to save the world baby!!!
@9JNZ3K61yr1Y
I would protect my family with a registered gun, and I would grow plants to help boost the production of healthy air.
@9JNYMVTRepublican1yr1Y
I would simply go on as I do everyday, Id take care of myself and my surroundings.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How can citizens without government aid provide a safety net for the vulnerable members of their community?
@9KBRVGY1yr1Y
this principle divides power among different branches so that power cannot be wielded by any one person without the possibility of resistance,
@9KBRVCD1yr1Y
I would prefer that there are communities such as planParenthood should be allowed to give what is need to those of the people that can't afford matters, as well as the clinics that give discounted shots to those that need it.
@9KCBZ6J1yr1Y
The collection of money from fundraisers and local taxes can supply support to the vulnerable people of the community.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What does 'freedom' mean to you, and how would that change if there were fewer laws and regulations?
Freedom means the right to be a legal citizen and live with my constitutional rights
@9JLZXH21yr1Y
Freedom is letting me have my rights such as freedom of speech and my right to bear arms
@9JLZWGH1yr1Y
freedom is a broad topic and makes you wonder. Freedom from what exactly? The freedom to do as we please? If that was the case it would be a loosely tied together anarchy. The laws we have in place allow for a middle ground, autonomy but not ever so reckless. There are equality issues that can arise if the government is made limited in the capacity that it can only make lynch pin decisions.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would your approach to education change if you had complete freedom to design your own learning path?
I would choose classes that teach me about things actually applicable to life and being an informed citizen.
@9JCN2391yr1Y
That we would have more off and not be in school for so long and no test
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Can you envision a society where neighbors take the role of problem-solvers instead of waiting for government action?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If you were to start a business, would you prefer more or less government regulation, and why?
@9HJC3SHRepublican2yrs2Y
Less government regulation. Id want to be independent
@9HJCF9D2yrs2Y
Less government because more regulation constricts the potential for success.
@9HJ3JKR 2yrs2Y
The government shouldn't have to follow the constitution in all cases, however shouldn't have any more control over U.S citizens.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If the government took less responsibility for social issues, how do you think society would be impacted?
@9H58TQZ2yrs2Y
It may be a negative impact. People may be more libertine in their attitudes towards drugs, alcohol, sex, etc. Whether we want to give government power in this area is a different question.
@9H592FJRepublican2yrs2Y
Poory, people would feel abandoned by the government
@9H596DN2yrs2Y
I agree with the limited government because corporations need to get on with their own work
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Describe an instance where you felt government regulations improved or worsened a problem in your community.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If there were no regulations on media, how do you think it would affect the quality and reliability of the news you receive?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Could a smaller government lead to a stronger sense of community and more local involvement, why or why not?
@9HCVD4QLibertarian2yrs2Y
Yes because everything is kept within a smaller number of individuals so there is a bigger likelyhood of people getting along bettee
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would you approach education if public schools were not regulated by government standards?
@9J38LKKRepublican1yr1Y
i would personalyl home school if public school was not regulated, Because i trust my home more than school
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would the dynamic in your family change if there were no laws determining work hours or vacation time?
@9JPVRR9Progressive1yr1Y
My family dynamic would change for the worse by the disallowing of vacation time, seeing as it would allow for less time to be spent with one another.
@9JPVJ2G1yr1Y
My father would probably be forced to work more, my mother would need to work more, and we would not be able to visit my family members as often, which would strain our relationship a lot since my dad already works almost 14 hours a day.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
If you had to resolve conflicts with your peers without administrative intervention, how would you approach it?
@9JLZPL7Libertarian1yr1Y
Explain how this country was founded on limited government
@9JLZKCQ1yr1Y
I think having a limited government is a very good idea especially in today's world. The fact that there are so many laws implemented in the name of "national security", have been depriving our citizens the freedom that we no longer enjoy. We are being policed in the airport, in schools, even in our home, when we are browsing our internet. The expansion of government has costed the citizens a lot of money and freedom.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How might your everyday life look different if there were fewer laws dictating what you can and cannot do?
@9HK2PT82yrs2Y
There would be a lot more things that would prevent peace and cause more disruptions in society.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would the dynamics of your family or home life be affected if there were no governmental child care or family support programs?
We would have nothing and would probably be living on the streets.
@9LH4HSQ1yr1Y
if there was no government the world would crumble. the liberals have already ruined our society, and if there was no government then we would fail completely.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would you preserve cultural and historical knowledge in your community without government-run museums and archives?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
In what ways do you think the absence of government intervention could result in more personalized approaches to housing and living situations?
@9LJC6VB1yr1Y
Government bureaucracy cause too much stress in housing situations, and we would be better off
@9LJC58Q 1yr1Y
The concept of limited government often advocates for minimal interference in individual affairs, including housing and living situations. In the absence of extensive government intervention, several personalized approaches to housing and living could emerge:
Diverse Housing Options: Without heavy regulation, individuals and communities could have more freedom to experiment with diverse housing options that cater to their specific needs and preferences. This could lead to a broader range of housing styles, sizes, and arrangements, including tiny homes, co-housing communities, eco-friendly dwellings, and alternative living arrangements like communal living or shared housing.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would non-regulated online communities police themselves against misinformation and harmful content?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Do you think the quality of roads and public transportation would be better or worse without government funding?
@9HK2RPY2yrs2Y
I think the quality of roads would be worse without government funding
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What personal experiences have led you to value or question the level of government involvement in your life?
id like the goverment to help its people when they are SUFFERING, please
@9J6PFG8Republican1yr1Y
Biden admin. has failed to counter inflation. This has made the cost of living hard on Americans.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
If you had to take on a role typically handled by the government, which one would you choose and why?
@9KDLTSKIndependent1yr1Y
I would take the role of public affairs, in more for the people and environment.
@9KDLP6RRepublican1yr1Y
A vote counter so that I make sure the vote is fair.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What qualities or actions do you think define 'personal responsibility' in a society with minimal government?
@9J38FC91yr1Y
The government should stop people from doing things that harm themselves or that can harm other people.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If government healthcare funding was minimized, how do you think this would affect your community's health?
@9J37YVB1yr1Y
This would take away the opportunity to stay healthy and get help for many.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Do you believe you can trust your fellow citizens to make responsible choices without strict laws?
@9HJTFJX2yrs2Y
I think we need to get back to punishing the individual instead of the country when one person does something wrong.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Can you share an example where you or someone you know engaged in self-regulation without needing a government rule?
@9J2V7791yr1Y
I think the control of the government is fine now, but I would like to see their beliefs to be more like mine
