Document Summary

When we express our opinion that government should take action, we turn a need to demand. Demand is an input of the government system. Demand is an expression of opinion that some government action be taken. Government intervention costs money which depends on tax. People disagree which part of them the state should or how to regulate. The more we rely on the government the more we have to pay. Coercion: the government has the power to impose its will on us by penalties. We obey because we are scared of penalties, we also know it s necessary for the general good. Branches of government: new or amended law= legislature, corporate wants big loan= executive, government services= bureaucracy, if demand can only be settled by judicial interpretation= judiciary, courts, they can work together, such as passing a new law. Authorities are more likely to respond to a group instead of an individual.
