The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The Virginia Bill of Rights states that "Government is, or ought to be, instituted for the common benefit, protection, and security of the people..." Based on the information in this article, I think the government upholds this most of the times but what is happening today with all these division of the country and the latest racial incidents we have witnessed and the world has witnessed, is that the polarization of opinions and beliefs has permeated the United States Congress and the top political officials, including the White House.

This has created so much turmoil and confusion among the citizens of the United States.

Let's have in mind that the Virginia Bill of Rights was drafted by founding father Thomas Jefferson, and this document directly influenced the Bill of Rights that are included in the US Constitution.
