===4. Direct Economic Decisions : nations try very greatly to provide their citizens with economic opportunities and resources but cannot provide everything that their citizens need and/ or desire. even in wealthy countries people are still very poor. material scarcity is often the start of an issue in society but the government tries to make choices that benefit and provide public services among their citizens.===

===**5. Protection Of Individual Rights : everyone is born equally with three natural rights - life, liberty and property; but people find it hard to protect and keep these rights safe. Since everybody is born to these rights it became the bases for any law. This the government trying to protect life, liberty and property through the law. Also everyone has the right to pursue happiness and they see it, since everyone has a different idea of happiness everybody will take a different path and people need to respect that. So taking away another person's happiness, liberty of life is a violation.**===
