This is because my government would be small and its citizens would primarily take care of themselves unless they were physically or mentally incapacitated. I firmly believe that the government should be afraid of the people and, if not, the people should be wary of its imperiousness. My philosophy is mainly summed up in the famous quote by John Basil Barnhill: “When governments fear the people, there is freedom. When the people are afraid of the government, it is tyranny.” The citizens of my utopia will control their government by maintaining a strong democracy in which citizens will have full say in what is approved or established by majority vote. Furthermore, there would be similar aspects in modern America's system of checks and balances, in the Constitution, and the judicial system would also be quite similar. However, my systems would all be fairer than I can attribute to our current systems. There are too many hidden agendas and lying politicians in our government today. Nothing would be hidden from people in my utopia and the government would be explicit and transparent
