CHAPTER 1Freedom, Order, or Equality?LEARNING OBJECTIVESAfter reading this chapter, you should be able to Define the key terms at the end of the chapter. Describe the ways that globalization has affected government and society in the United States. Give practical examples of ways in which the values of freedom, order, and equality may conflict. Provide a conceptual framework for analyzing government. Discuss the three major purposes of government. Explain the two dilemmas of government. Sketch a continuum of ideological stances on the scope of government, ranging fromtotalitarianism to anarchism. Construct a two-dimensional, fourfold classification of American political ideologies, using thevalues of freedom, order, and equality. Distinguish between liberals and conservatives with regard to their attitudes about the scope andpurpose of government.FREEDOM, ORDER, AND EQUALITY, OR THE CHALLENGE OFDEMOCRACYChapter 1 explores the meaning of three of the text’s five major themes: freedom, order, and equality.These values are important ones in the U.S. political system. They often come into conflict with oneanother, however, thus posing a dilemma for people who are forced to choose between competingvalues. The chapter’s opening vignette, describing how globalization affects our housing market,reveals the costs and challenges associated with balancing freedom, order, and equality. The chaptersahead focus on the setting, structure, and institutions of U.S. government and the policymaking process;as we proceed, we will see many examples of these conflicting values.CHAPTER OVERVIEWThe Globalization of American GovernmentWhereas nations used to be understood as independent political actors, global economicinterdependence and the growing importance of international organizations challenge thisindependence. Nations are compelled to reconcile national political values with international values thatmay represent a different balance between freedom, order, and equality. The 1982 Law of the SeaTreaty was blocked until 2007. The U.S. Senate ratified the treaty in 2007 because the political climatehad changed and certain advantages of the treaty became evident.Copyright Cengage Learning. All rights reserved.

2Chapter 1: Freedom, Order, or Equality?The Purposes of GovernmentGovernment is the legitimate use of force to control human behavior. Throughout history, governmenthas served three major purposes: (1) maintaining order, including preserving life and protectingproperty, (2) providing public goods, and (3) promoting equality. Maintaining order, the first purpose,is the oldest and least contended purpose of government. Most would agree with Thomas Hobbes thatthe security of civil society is preferable to life in a warlike state of nature. But the question of whethermaintaining order requires the government to infringe on an individual’s personal freedom is a toughone to answer. The second purpose—providing public goods—leads to questions of just what goods thegovernment ought to provide. Over the years, the scope of the U.S. government has expandedconsiderably, as the government has assumed greater responsibility for providing an array of socialbenefits. The third purpose of government—promoting equality—is the newest and probably mostcontroversial purpose of government today. It raises issues about the extent of the government’s role inredistributing wealth, regulating social behavior, and providing opportunities.A Conceptual Framework for Analyzing GovernmentPeople often have difficulty understanding the U.S. government because they lack a framework to helpthem organize the facts of politics. The framework supplied in this text distinguishes between thevalues citizens pursue through government and the institutional models that guide them in their effortsto govern themselves democratically. The framework presented here uses five major concepts. Thethree presented in this chapter—freedom, order, and equality—represent what democratic governmentstry to do. The two remaining concepts concern how democratic governments do what they do;governments may behave according to pluralistic or majoritarian models. These models are explainedmore fully in the next chapter.The Concepts of Freedom, Order, and EqualityFreedom, as used in this text, is synonymous with liberty, that is, the freedom to speak, worship, and soforth. In a narrow sense, order consists of preserving life and protecting property, but it may also referto social order, which prescribes the accepted way of doing things. Equality is used to mean severaldifferent things: political equality, or equality of influence in the political process; social equality, orequality in wealth, education, and social status; equality of opportunity, or equality in chances forsuccess; and equality of outcome, or equality for people in the end. The last concept is connected withthe idea of entitlements and requires much more government intervention to sustain than either politicalequality or equality of opportunity.Two Dilemmas of GovernmentTwo major dilemmas confront government today. The first one, the original dilemma, involvestradeoffs between freedom and order. How much freedom are people willing to give up to achievecomplete safety? How much insecurity are they willing to tolerate to preserve personal freedom? Thesecond one, the modern dilemma, deals with the balance between freedom and equality. Shouldgovernment act to promote equal access for women and African Americans to high-paying jobs, eventhough this restricts the freedom of their employers?Ideology and the Scope of GovernmentPolitical ideologies provide their adherents with consistent, organized beliefs about government. Eachideology provides a different answer to questions about the scope of government, that is, how fargovernment should go in maintaining order, providing public goods, and promoting equality.Totalitarianism believes in total control by the government over business, labor, education, religion,sports, and the arts. Socialists would have government control basic industries but leave room for someCopyright Cengage Learning. All rights reserved.

Chapter 1: Freedom, Order, or Equality?3private ownership of productive capacities and for the operation of civil liberties. Some socialistspractice democratic socialism, which guarantees civil liberties, free elections, and competitive politicalparties. Capitalists favor private ownership of the means of production and no government interferencewith business. Libertarians oppose government action except where absolutely necessary to protect lifeand property. Anarchists oppose all government.Practical politics in the United States tend to be fought out in the middle ground of this continuum—aplace inhabited by conservatives and liberals, who differ on both the scope and the purpose ofgovernment action. Liberals favor generous government support for education, wildlife protection,public transportation, and a whole range of social programs. Conservatives believe in smallergovernment and fewer social programs. In the past, liberals and conservatives have been distinguishedby their attitudes toward the scope of government. Today this approach is not quite adequate;ideological divisions among Americans involve not only disagreements over the scope of governmentbut also disagreements about the purposes of government, that is, the degree to which the governmentshould promote freedom, order, and equality.American Political Ideologies and the Purpose of GovernmentLiberals and conservatives differ on both of the major value conflicts described in this chapter. Byusing a two-dimensional classification system that depicts freedom and order on one axis and freedomand equality on the other, it is possible to obtain a more accurate picture of the differences betweenliberals and conservatives. This scheme yields a fourfold classification of American political ideologies.Under it, those who prefer order to freedom and freedom to equality are conservatives. Those whoprefer equality to freedom and freedom to order are liberals. Those who prefer freedom above the othervalues are libertarians. Those who would give up freedom for either equality or order are calledcommunitarians.KEY TERMSglobalizationgovernmentnational sovereigntyorderliberalismcommunismpublic goodsfreedom offreedom frompolice powerpolitical equalitysocial equalityequality of opportunityequality of outcomerightspolitical ideologyCopyright Cengage Learning.

This willhelp you understand how a chapter is organized and how its main points fit together. The act of writingthe outline focuses your attention on the material and also reinforces what you have read.Outlining styles tend to be idiosyncratic: one person might prepare an outline that uses full sentences orlong phrases to help recall the substance of sections of the text; another might rely on brief phrases orkey words. For starters though, you will probably want to use the chapter’s main headings andsubheadings as the skeleton for your outline. Then flesh these out by noting the main points within eachsubheading, and where you think it is useful, add some notes to indicate just how each point isconnected to the main heading.Here is a sample outline of Chapter 1.CHAPTER ONE—OUTLINEI.II.The globalization of American governmentA.

One way to go about it isto consult an encyclopedia or dictionary, such as the Encyclopedia Britannica or Webster’s New WorldDictionary. (Access to Britannica is available online as a paid service. For a free trial, go to http://www.eb.com .) In these works, you will find a general treatment of the terms. A generalencyclopedic discussion may include some material of interest to social scientists, but it may alsoinclude material more interesting to people in other fields (for example, philosophers may be moreinterested in the question of free will versus determinism, a question often included in generalCopyright Cengage Learning.

You may find it helpful to turn to a more specialized work tailored to providinginformation about subjects as they apply to social or political science.The following are some useful specialized dictionaries and encyclopedias:Gould, Julius, and William Kolb, eds. A Dictionary of the Social Sciences. Glencoe, IL: FreePress, 1964.Greenberg, Milton, and Jack C. Plano, eds. The American Political Dictionary. l0th ed.

New York:Macmillan, 1968.USING YOUR KNOWLEDGE1.Become familiar with specialized encyclopedias and dictionaries. Look up the terms equality,freedom, democracy, ideology, and pluralism in some of the works cited above. Compare thematerial covered in the different sources. Are all these terms included in every work?2.Use your knowledge and resources to define freedom, order, and equality. Is there a commonconcept that can be used to define all these terms at once, or are they too different?3.Visit the websites of groups that represent each of the four ideological types discussed in thechapter. At each site, see if you can find statements that illustrate the group’s viewpoint onfreedom, order, and equality, the key values discussed in this chapter. How well does each groupfit into the typology? You may try the websites listed here or at the end of the textbook chapter, oryou may try to make your own list of ideologically oriented groups.

CHAPTER 2Majoritarian or Pluralist Democracy?LEARNING OBJECTIVESAfter reading this chapter, you should be able to Define the key terms at the end of the chapter. Arrange types of governments on a continuum on the basis of the number of rulers they contain. Indicate how the symbolic value of democracy has changed over the years. List the four principles of procedural democracy. Outline the central principles of the substantive view of democracy. Point out the differences between the procedural and substantive views of democracy and indicatethe key problems with each. Explain why representative democracy has replaced participatory democracy in the modern world. Compare the assumptions and mechanisms of the majoritarian, pluralist, and elite models. Discuss the pressures faced by newly democratizing states. Make a preliminary attempt to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the majoritarian, pluralist,and elite models as they apply to the American system.MAJORITARIANISM, PLURALISM, AND THE CHALLENGE OFDEMOCRACYFarm subsidies are hard to get rid of. Although a majority of Americans want to discontinue farmsubsidies, they do little about it. On the other side, farmers actively support farm subsidies and supporttheir interest group which lobbies hard to keep them. So the question becomes, Who should have theirway, the non-vocal majority or the very vocal minority? If the minority keeps winning, how can thatbe? What is democracy? This chapter will explore the theory of democratic government and twotheories of democracy, procedural democracy and substantive democracy.CHAPTER OVERVIEWThe Theory of Democratic GovernmentForms of government can be arranged on a continuum according to how many people hold power inthem, that is, according to whether a government is based on rule by one (an autocracy), by few (anoligarchy), or by many (a democracy).Historically, rule by the people—democracy—was greeted with scorn; in the modern world, however,most governments try to style themselves as democratic. This chapter provides methods for deciding onthe validity of their claims. It defines democracy and tries to show the kind of democracy the UnitedStates is.Copyright Cengage Learning.

14Chapter 2: Majoritarian or Pluralist Democracy?The authors present two different theories of democracy. The first is a procedural theory andemphasizes how decisions are made. It relies on four main principles: universal participation, politicalequality, majority rule, and responsiveness of representatives to the electorate. Under the requirementsof the procedural theory, there need be no protections for minorities. The second theory is a substantiveone and pays more attention to the content of what government does. Substantive theorists generallyexpect the government to protect the basic civil rights and liberties of all, including minorities; somesubstantive theorists go further and expect the government to ensure various social and economic rights.The difficulty with substantive theory is
