Some say a dictatorship is better because the people don’t know what is and isn’t good for them. Others might claim that a democracy isn’t necessarily the better option because there could be a lot hidden between the lines that people vote for without a second through. Both can be abused, and both can be
In the spirit of selfish self interest, the majority in a state will vote on implementing laws that favor the majority population without considering how it will affect the minority population. Someone has to step in and protect the minority’s interests and check any sort of discrimination directed to them. In this case the only people with the legal power to do so are the legislators and the government, even if it means facing majority outcry in the process. Oversimplifying an important public policy into a multiple choice decision, as earlier stated, might not result in the implementation of public laws. When voting in referendums, it is doubtful that most of the people voting have a complete idea on the decision they are making.

I cast my vote, perchance, as I think right; but I am not vitally concerned that that right should prevail.
Things would run better with no competition for office. The program would have problems. The people of the state might not agree with the program. Philosophers may refuse to take up office because the life of a philosopher would be better than that of a ruler. It would be hard for this program to work in a democracy since the people may not agree with it.

Student Professor English 305 6 November 2009 I Say No To Hate Crime Laws Hate crimes are an irrational, ignorant and cowardly expression of desperation. A person who commits a hate crime is desperate to feel better, superior and in control. That being said, there should not be special laws and mandatory sentences for people who commit these heinous acts of violence because they do not accomplish the goals of eradicating or deterring bigotry. If we, as a society, put special laws and punishments into our legal system, we are unequivocally saying that the motive of these acts is more important than the intent or outcome of these crimes.

This quote means what’s the point in making a law when you can’t make sure that it’s enforced and upheld. Also it is saying that if the law isn’t respected. One of the reasons laws are put in place are to maintain a civil society. Therefore if laws are not respected we will lose a civil society and everything will turn to chaos.
