The people of the U.S really haven't an honest clue what's really going on behind the government, so it wouldn't be too wise for us to entrust the government into completely making every decision, decisions in which we could perfectly make ourselves. So it not only gives us, the people, a sense of unification, it also gives a sense of direction so that we feel that we are not being blindly controlled by the government.
