Question #6

A paradox of good government involves a conflicting need. The option "Government needs to be strong to protect, but yet not interfere with the lives of the citizens" shows the conflict between the need for a strong government (to protect) and the need to not overstep (not interfere), which is a paradox. The first option is about privacy vs security (more of a privacy - security paradox, not specific to good government's core paradox). The second option's "good or effective" is not a recognized paradox of good government. The third option is about the quality of people in government, not a paradox of the government's role.

In the U.S. Constitution, the order of the branches of government as established is Legislative (makes laws), then Executive (enforces laws), then Judicial (interprets laws). So the correct order is Legislative, Executive, Judicial.

Answer:

D. Government needs to be strong to protect, but yet not interfere with the lives of the citizens (assuming the options are labeled A - D with the first option as A, second as B, third as C, fourth as D)
