Why Is A Moral People Required For Good Government?

A moral people are required for good government because nobody can govern an immoral people. Moral people will break the law less and make fewer mistakes. A government is also made of people, so if the people are not moral then the government won’t be moral either.

            According to John Locke, the purpose of government is to protect the people’s life, health, liberty, and property. An immoral government would do the opposite. They would take away all of those things, then the government would fall apart and there would be no purpose in even having a government. That is why a moral people are required for good government.
