Normative & Ethical
Foundations
An effective local government manager must uphold ethical standards by promoting equity, maximizing benefits and building trust with the community.
Sometimes responsibility conflicts with a manager’s personal values and that very hard choices have to be made impacting their morale principles.
This assignment explores the difference between Alexander Hamilton’s theory of a strong central government while James Madison’s checks and balances theory demands accountability. Their theories set the guidelines public administrators still follow today.
​This assignment caused me to go beyond my moral matrix to deepen my understanding of someone else’s values.
