I can see the validity in either option. Honestly I think a smaller but more effective government would work better, but there is also less control.

Even though having more people is less efficient I would still want to have more people. I wouldn't want one person in total power and not have to listen to the voices of the people at all. At least I can have a chance to have my voice heard and so does everyone else.

i dont really know but if i had to guess i would have to say less people with more efficiency.

I see benefits from both of them, I don't think any particular method can be entirely more effective than one or the other unless we completely remove corruption from the picture. Which unfortunatly isn't entirely possible

Definitely Less people, more efficient. There’s plenty of other jobs in the country that people can have that aren’t government related.

Honestly I’m not entirely sure, both seem viable, but if anything I feel like maybe the more people option, so more voices are heard and more options considered when dealing with issues

Democracy works better. This is because an autocratic system may lead to uprisings by the common people. More so than in a democratic system.

I would say autocratic because the whole point of having a government is making sure they are being productive and doing things, I don't think the number of people involved matters as long as they are getting things done.

Having more people is a better from of government even if it is less efficient. Having more people allows everyone’s ideas to be heard, but the setback is it takes more time for things to pass and be agreed upon.

Less people and more efficient, but the common people should have the ability to speak their mind too.

I think an autocratic government with less people, but it's more efficient. Having a more efficient government is important.

Democratic because then they can make sure that it really is what the people want and not just a couple peoples opinion that could be easily won over.

I think it's better to have more people but be less efficient. Peoples opinions are very important when making government decisions, because it affects everyone.

Both sides have good and bad. More people means more brains to be thinking of different options, but it also makes it less efficient. Less brains means that they will get stuff done faster and more efficient, but it also means they could be missing other options that more people could think of.

Democracy because in an autocratic system, the people don't have much of a voice which may cause uprisings.

I would say that the simple answer is that you want the government that is more effective. I'm not sure what the repercussions of that might be but in the most simplest way, more effective would be better.

I think that either choice could work well. It might be better to have more people but be less efficient because it's better to not give a small group of people so much power. However, I think that if there was a way to have a smaller but more efficient government that checks itself to avoid having too much power, than the second option would be better

I think government that is autocratic that involves less people but is more efficient, is more important. Although people would be mad about this situation, it would be better for our ecosystem, government and life styles.

This is a tough one. I feel like autocratic may be better but only if the opinions of the people are being represented in their government.

I would rather have an effective government. I guess in this scenario I would have to pick an autocratic government because it is more effective. I don't really care how many people are in he government system, as long as they can work together and do it effectively ( and there is more than one person in charge because I feel like that never works our that well).

Even though having more people is less efficient, its important to have lots of different ideas and opinions.

There‘s points to both, but I think a government with less efficiency but more members. Mostly because I don‘t think it‘s wise to trust one person or a small group of people to run a whole country. More people means more disagreements, which means a higher likelihood of a large variance of ideas.

Both do seem like great options. Autocratic would be good because it would be less communication and more concise, but it would could be worse because it has a better chance of having bad stuff happening because it would be more opinionated. Democratic would be less work for everybody yet more communication and slower stuff happening.

I think that the most efficient one for the individual and whole would be best. Both are alright in their own ways. What might work for one person might not for another, so neither is one hundred percent perfect for everyone, but the individual knows what is best for themselves.

I think the government should be like smaller because it would be easier to figure things out and agree on more things. The government could be more effective with a bigger group because there are more ideas to be shared.

I feel like a smaller government, even though it would be more efficient, would be worse than a bigger government. I would prefer a bigger government because we would have more opinions and ideas thrown around and we wouldn't have a small fraction of people in charge of immense power. Leave a Reply. |
