Government is an organized system of decision making which provides essential services and ensures society functions smoothly and efficiently. It provides order, organization, stability and security. Laws outline our rights and responsibilities, they define what we can and can’t do, and they provide an acceptable way of resolving disputes without violence. Furthermore, they protect the rights of individuals and minorities. The definition of symbiotic is a relationship of mutual benefit or dependence. A symbiotic relationship exists between law and government.

“Drunk Driver Jailed for Year” is a good representation about how the government and the law work together. Richard Holman would have never gone to court if it wasn’t for the government making it against the law to drink and drive. Holman broke several laws that the government set. This man killed another human being because he was driving while under the influence of alcohol and he was also going over the speed limit set by the government.

In the article “Human Smuggler Deported”, the government plays a role on why Frank Magyar was sent to jail, and also where he was sent to jail. Magyar was found smuggling six Chinese citizens, hidden in his boat, into the United States for money. The government says that in order to come and live in their country you must apply for citizenship, not just come over whenever you want. The government also played a role in where Magyar would be held. Since he was smuggling the illegal immigrants into the United States, and that was where he was arrested, he spent his time in an American jail.
