Government officials should rely on their own judgment rather than unquestioningly carry out the will of the people they serve.

my response :
   
        As we all know that "government is for the people , by the people and of the people " , suggestions from people should be welcomed by the government but only to a certain extent . Unquestioningly  taking suggestions may lead to more conflicts and confusion rather than having a possitive effect . Government functions to serve the people, but blindly following a suggestion will lead to partiality between different groups as a country or state may have different religions and cultures.

      Furthermore, the suggestions given may vary with each person which results in confusion and conflict . If a government has to take a decision suggested by two different groups without analysing it , the judgement given may suppress one group and support another . For instance , if a decision is to be made that a certain piece of land doesnot belong to a temple which actually was a waterbody once which now requires attention , and the people suggest to take appropriate action for conservation of the waterbody , may result in protesting of the temple officials . Instead folllowing a bling suggestion,  the  government should have analysed the content on both sides to have proper insight .

     If you think about it , it will be wise for the government to make judgements considering the suggestions and not fully relying on it . For example if the citizens make a suggestion about measures to reduce mosquitoe menance , the government should make an abstract on the positives and negatives on the stated one's . some sugestions may enhance to solve the issue and some may have no positive efect or cause more problem than doing any good . So , proper analysis about the suggestions are mandatory .

     However, even if the government takes decisions that is againt the people , this again raises a problem . For instance , a government passes a bill to clean all parks of the city rejecting the suggestions of the people which was cleaning major waterbodies of the city . This contrasting judgement made by the government will provoke the anger of the citizens . If the government had considered the suggestions and made compromising insight between the two issues , the judgement would be appreciated .

      Decisions made by the government clearly relys on what the topic is about and it may or maynot consider the suggestions of the people . however , for a proper government structure , considering the suggestions of the people but also analysing about the subject will be the wisest approach  .
