American Government
             Government is the institution through which society
             makes and enforces its public policies. It is the agency through
             which the state exerts its will and works to accomplish its
             goals. Government consists of the machinery and the personnel by
             which the state is ruled. The type of government we have in the
             United States of America is a democracy.A democracy can be
             defined as a system of government in which supreme authority
             rests with the people. With this system of rule, the individual
             has a lot of power. The 1st,4th,and 14th Amendments attempt to

             Though the 1st and 14th Amendments guarantee freedom of
             freedom and expression, no person has unbridled right of free
             speech or free press. Many reasonable restrictions can be placed
             on those rights. No person has the right to libel or slander
             another. Libel is the false and malicious use of printed words;
             slander is such use of spoken words. Similarly, the law prohibits
             the use of obscene words, the printing and distributing of
             obscene materials, and false advertising. These Amendments
             protect the rights of an individual, though there are some slight
