Why do we need a government large or small-pros and cons

We need a government to keep control over national budget and world wide trade that has to do with our country but at the same time with a government like ours we have very little say so in what is done when it comes to electing a president the popular vote doesnt amount to much more than a grain of sand it is the electoral college that chooses the president but at the same time they go by the popular vote from time to time as a consultant so to speak.

Pro so we can have order, so we can not go out of control and be able to negotiate with other countries about peace cons there will always be a higher power than citizens, there will not be much voice from citizens
