GOVERNMENT
PREPARED BY: JASHLEY KESHA T. DIAZ NG, BSCE-4
INTRODUCTION

Governance is the art and science of carefully balancing the competing needs
and values of society, all demanding acceptance and preeminence. Insofar as
the government and the people are concerned, their intervals may every
now and then clash, for which a careful weighing of various considerations
have to be done that the demands of authority do not lead to slavery and the
recognition of the claims of liberty do not end up in anarchy. On the side of
authority, you have the inherent and fundamental powers of the government
-- police power, eminent domain, and taxation -- powers by which its
objectives may be enforced and implemented. On the other end, you have
the guarantees and safeguards found in the Bill of Rights.
