According to this passage, what is the great difficulty in creating a government? A. Giving the government enough power while creating limitations
B. Making the government a good reflection of human nature
C. Administering a government that is large and complicated
D. Making a government that avoids controlling the governed
The correct answer is A. Giving the government enough power while creating limitations.
This option highlights the fundamental challenge in establishing a government: ensuring that it has the authority to govern effectively while also incorporating checks and balances to prevent abuse of power. This balance is crucial for maintaining liberty and preventing tyranny. If a government has too much power, it may oppress its citizens; if it has too little, it may be ineffective.
