In what ways do you think social norms and behaviors would shift if there were fewer governmental influences?

 @9KDL8TM from Maine answered…2mos2MO

People should be able to practice what they wish in peace without interference.

 @9KG6ZYY  from Indiana disagreed…2mos2MO

People should be able to practice what they wish in peace without interference as long as it does not pose a direct threat to anyone else's existence or well-being.

What innovative solutions can you imagine emerging in a community with fewer regulations and restrictions?

 @9JCG66GIndependent  from Oregon answered…4mos4MO

In areas where there are few people, there is an opportunity for self-governing communities; however, we need government to mitigate us when we live in the vastly populated and diverse expanse of our nation.

 @9JDY69Hfrom Maine disagreed…4mos4MO

The previous answer is terribly vague.
"In areas where there are few people, there is an opportunity for self-governing communities"

How is this related to innovative solutions emerging ?

 @9JCGZSD from Iowa answered…4mos4MO

I don't think that limited government means fewer regulations and restrictions rather fewer people making things to restrict and regulate.

 @9JCH8BR from Oklahoma answered…4mos4MO

A more "limited government" could cause more innovative solutions within communities such as a push for the prioritization of paying off U.S. debt being paid for by encouraged tourist opportunities.

 @9JCGYJSRepublican from Idaho answered…4mos4MO

More technological and medical advancments along with better relationships with law enforment

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3mos3MO

What innovative methods could schools adopt to ensure quality education without state curriculum standards?

 @9KL9XP6 from Washington answered…2mos2MO

Give schools more money in order to give them better materials to learn with and learn properly.

 @9KNCR2Y from New Jersey agreed…2mos2MO

Many schools are underfunded because of standardized testing. They are given less money to work with so they cut cost on some subjects to do better on the ones they did bad in last time making them do bad in the other ones.

 @9KLC27T from Washington answered…2mos2MO

In countries which have implemented free college education for it's citizens, their educators are required to have a masters degree in education. This, in turn, brings about higher test scores, higher quality schools, and an overall more successful education system which benefits citizens in every industry.

If we are not able to implement the same educational system, just allowing educators to curate standards at a local and state level that work for individual school systems would greatly benefit the current education system. Having as many limitations on education as there are now have driven educators out of the industry in droves and damaged our educational success in dangerous ways.

 @9KL9W2H from Louisiana answered…2mos2MO

Rigorous teacher programs could be a way to ensure that teachers teach quality education without becoming biased. Also, increasing teachers' wages could be an effective incentive for better education.

How can citizens without government aid provide a safety net for the vulnerable members of their community?

 @9KCBZ6J from North Carolina answered…2mos2MO

The collection of money from fundraisers and local taxes can supply support to the vulnerable people of the community.

 @9KBRVGY from Texas answered…2mos2MO

this principle divides power among different branches so that power cannot be wielded by any one person without the possibility of resistance,

 @9KBRVCD from Texas answered…2mos2MO

I would prefer that there are communities such as planParenthood should be allowed to give what is need to those of the people that can't afford matters, as well as the clinics that give discounted shots to those that need it.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

What does 'freedom' mean to you, and how would that change if there were fewer laws and regulations?

 @9JLZZ6NVeteran  from Ohio answered…3mos3MO

Freedom means the right to be a legal citizen and live with my constitutional rights

 @9JLZXH2 from Texas answered…3mos3MO

Freedom is letting me have my rights such as freedom of speech and my right to bear arms

 @9JLZWGH from West Virginia answered…3mos3MO

freedom is a broad topic and makes you wonder. Freedom from what exactly? The freedom to do as we please? If that was the case it would be a loosely tied together anarchy. The laws we have in place allow for a middle ground, autonomy but not ever so reckless. There are equality issues that can arise if the government is made limited in the capacity that it can only make lynch pin decisions.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

How would your approach to education change if you had complete freedom to design your own learning path?

 @9JCN2D5answered…4mos4MO

I would have an education system based on real history without lenses on how it makes people look.

 @9JCVCP8 from Virginia agreed…4mos4MO

Having the freedom to draw your own conclusions as opposed to being indoctrinated by biased educators allows a higher quality of thought.

 @9JC8KRWGreen from Colorado answered…4mos4MO

I would choose classes that teach me about things actually applicable to life and being an informed citizen.

 @9JCN239 from Kentucky answered…4mos4MO

That we would have more off and not be in school for so long and no test

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

Can you envision a society where neighbors take the role of problem-solvers instead of waiting for government action?

 @9HTRXMP from California answered…4mos4MO

It is still important to not have so much limited government because sometimes it is out of peoples capacity to solve their problem.

 @9HTRVW8 from Pennsylvania answered…4mos4MO

I wish people had more control over the government. Our government has too much power over us and needs to be changed.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

Is there an area of your life where you strongly feel the government should not interfere?

 @9H9CZNR from Colorado commented…5mos5MO

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

If you were to start a business, would you prefer more or less government regulation, and why?

 @9HJCF9D from Florida answered…5mos5MO

Less government because more regulation constricts the potential for success.

 @9HJC3SHRepublican from Texas answered…5mos5MO

 @9HJ3JKR  from Illinois answered…5mos5MO

The government shouldn't have to follow the constitution in all cases, however shouldn't have any more control over U.S citizens.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

If the government took less responsibility for social issues, how do you think society would be impacted?

 @9H58TQZ from Hawaii answered…6mos6MO

It may be a negative impact. People may be more libertine in their attitudes towards drugs, alcohol, sex, etc. Whether we want to give government power in this area is a different question.

 @9H596DNfrom Maine answered…6mos6MO

I agree with the limited government because corporations need to get on with their own work

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Describe an instance where you felt government regulations improved or worsened a problem in your community.
