Some of the negative view of government are related to politics. The fact that Democrats were more concerned about government power when Bush was president and Republicans are more concerned about it with Obama as president shows that some people will b negative about the government simply because of political partisanship. Additionally, there are clear philosophical and ideological differences in views of the government that great the Dynamic tension that exists in any democratic system, with conservatives generally favoring less government and liberals favoring more government.       

This passage is telling us how government is negatively viewed by the different political parties. The population of people are more involved in government when their opposite party is in power. That is because each political party has different views, which is how people determine who's side they're on Democratic or Republican. What issues are they including, which issues are considered unimportant and are being left out, are these issues beneficial to or oppose a threat. We elect government to protect and serve the people, which is why when things begin to fall apart someone is not doing their job and the people become disappointed. There are many promises made before, during and after re-election that are not finalized which is why the government is viewed negatively.                                                                                                            I choose this paragraph because it pertains to the theories of government, an example is key issues which are used in both parties. I also thought it was important to look beyond public issues which are thrown to diffuse other problems but do more research.
