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.
