A Government Without Protection Loses Its Legitimacy
A functioning government must ensure the safety and security of its citizens; otherwise, it risks losing its legitimacy. The complexity and layers within local and federal political systems hinder effective governance, making it difficult for a single elected official to implement meaningful change.

Effective reform requires a long-term commitment from multiple elected officials rather than reliance on individual leaders.
